Spec-Driven Development & AI: Takeaways from AWS Women in Cloud Meetup

Tomas Guzman — Thu, 30 Jul 2026 03:41:29 +0000

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.

Have you tried Spec-Driven Development or AI-assisted game development yet? Let me know your thoughts in the comments!

Día 1 de Resolviendo ejercicios de LEETCODE como si fuera un ANIME

LeetCode da miedo al principio.
La interfaz fría, el timer, el "expected output" que no matchea.
Parece un boss final sin haber tenido un arco de entrenamiento xdd

Entonces decidí hacer el arco de entrenamiento..
Un problema por día, explicado como anime, sin filtro

Hoy: Two Sum. El episodio 1 de cualquier shonen de programación.

El problema parece fácil y casi nadie lo resuelve bien
la primera vez que lo ve en una entrevista real.
Hay dos soluciones. Una que todos intentan primero..
Y una que separa a los que entienden estructuras de datos
de los que básicamente le rezan al compilador..

No voy a spoilear más. Está todo en el video (:

La intención es simple: que lo disfruten, que se rían un rato
y que cuando terminen entiendan por qué el HashMap
es el timeskip que nadie te explica en el bootcamp.

¿Ya resolviste Two Sum?? Con qué lenguaje?
Mañana continuo con el día 2 xd
