KiroweenHackathon26 Joining Kiroween 2026, the Halloween-themed hackathon powered by Kiro — AWS's agentic AI IDE. Shipping something spooky this month. 🎃👻
What I like most about Kiro: spec-driven development. Instead of tossing one giant prompt at an AI and hoping for the best, Kiro makes me write real requirements, a design doc, and a task list first — then the agents implement against that spec. The result is code that matches what I actually asked for, with a paper trail I can review and steer.
How it changes the way I build: my workflow shifts from 'paste errors into chat' to 'review, refine, and approve the plan'. Agent hooks handle the repetitive checks, and steering lets me correct course mid-implementation without starting over. It feels less like autocomplete and more like pairing with a teammate who actually reads the tickets.
Over the next few weeks I'll build a project from idea to working demo using Kiro's spec workflow, with a public repo and updates along the way. If you've been curious about agentic coding, Kiroween is a fun excuse to try it — event runs through Dec 4 on Devpost.
Happy shipping, and happy Halloween. 🎃
