Recently, I had the chance to attend an awesome AWS Women in Cloud meetup hosted at the MODO headquarters in Buenos Aires.
It was a great mix of technical debates, hands-on coding, and networking. Here is a quick recap of the key concepts discussed and resources shared during the event.
🧠 Key Highlights
1. CS Fundamentals vs. AI Era
We kicked off with a debate on why understanding computer science fundamentals is more critical now than ever. AI tools can write code fast, but without strong foundations, debugging and scaling complex architectures become a nightmare.
2. Spec-Driven Development (SDD)
Florencia Olivera and the tech team shared insights on Spec-Driven Development. Instead of jumping straight into coding, SDD focuses on defining clear, precise specifications first-allowing both humans and AI coding assistants to collaborate seamlessly with fewer hallucinations.
3. Hands-on Workshop: Kiro & AWS
We wrapped up the event with a workshop led by Daiana Rodriguez, where we built a game using Kiro (an AI-assisted development tool) backed by AWS cloud services.
🛠️ Workshop Resources
If you want to practice and test the implementation yourself, here are the official workshop materials:
- 📖 Step-by-Step Spanish Guide: Google Docs Guide
- ☁️ AWS Workshop Sandbox Access: AWS Workshop Console
⚠️ Note: The temporary AWS sandbox access code is active for 48 hours only, but the step-by-step guide remains available for reference.
🚀 Conclusion
Huge thanks to Daiana Rodriguez, MODO, and AWS Women in Cloud BA for organizing such an enriching session.
