I...idk what I expected. But I'm a bit tired of these weird AI announcements in places they don't necessarily make sense. Can I blame Devin?

I forgot to mention I AM AN INVESTOR IN AMAZON
See, it worked. Now you became an INVESTOR.
@@saiphaneeshk.h.5482they forgot to legally disclose it.
Nice try, skater boy. I'll believe it when I see your IRS form-1098 signed in triplicate.
Everyone is an Amazon investor if you have a 401k lol
straight to jail
Theo's descent into anger was only possible through AI.
The hardest part about building an app is for upper management to make up their mind on what features to implement, how they're implemented, and how they relate with one another. This causes a bunch of meetings filling in gaps in logic and going over the pros/cons/UIUX/requirements/architecture for each feature. Coming up with the prompt for this would be very difficult. It would take thousands of 10min runs and time wasting meetings to get it right. And if you aren't starting from scratch, the AI would have to correctly interpret all the features from the existing code. The prompt would have to be highly tailored for all the code which would require you to understand it. So the low code factor would go away
Im guessing here, but i think theyre just talking about AI assisted quicksight. Theyre really stretching the definition of 'apps'. So its just generating bar graphs.
Compound sentence. Run-on sentence. Theo: They're the same picture.
The shade in this video is AAA+ "This is like the elevator music on the way to your lobotomy" 🤣🤣🤣
That one killed me
Theo, they aren't run-on sentences. The sentences are grammatically correct, heck he even used a semicolon in the right way, and yes, even the parentheses hehe. Back in high school, an old friend of mine wrote a 1000-word essay like this using lots of semicolons, colons, em-dashes, en-dashes, and yes, commas. It was grammatically correct, but irritating!
i agree. His logic is like "long sentence = AI", when its quite straightforward especially compared to literary works. At this pace he'd call Lincoln's Gettysberg address as made by AI lol.
Gramatically correct sentences with 0 value = run-on sentences. Very common in AI, and that's why your brain learns to skip the answer of an LLM and maybe grab the 10% that was useful.
I think your last sentence sums up what most of us think of it. Yes, it is grammatically correct. No, we don't care, because, yes, it is annoying regardless. Having a long sentence is fine, but when every sentence is long, it makes people notice, and when people notice this kinda "meta" stuff about the writing, it's just distracting from the actual content.
I find Theo's pettiness and overanalyzing each sentence a bit irrelevant from the main topic which is showcasing the product. Do people really care that much about how the CEO formulates his sentence?
Theo constantly ragging on (what is perfectly fine) sentence structure, the use of certain words he doesn't like, and generally everything but the content will never not be annoying.
I wouldn’t want this guy to grade my essays back in school
Is it just me or did Theo‘s use of „uuuggghcchh“ increase like 10x within the last month? :D
I was hoping that there would be an AI trained to understand all the various AWS services, what they do, how to integrate them, and what they cost. Then you could describe an app idea with a set of functional requirements, and this AI could recommend certain configurations of AWS services that could support such an app. Now that you've got a plan you can ask it to implement that system and it will just create the project and fire up those services so you can build your app with confidence that you're using the right AWS services for your scenario.
Now that would be useful 😂
Amazon Q is a better name to SQS than SQS
Amazon Q Anon: THE FROGS HAVE SPACE LASERS SPYING ON YOU
Amazon Q Anon: biden is a legitimate president
The CIA and their gay "bomb" lol
The irony Theo is that you verbally reply using even longer running sentences. But we dont mind :)
I had to stop watching at the 6 minute mark due to all the whining; this was way worse than any run-on sentence the ceo could have written.
What marketing genius came up with this brand/identity…all I hear is “Q-Anon”. “Q-Azon”
pretty sure they are both references to ST:TNG
@@Novascrub Is that a reference to that Gordon guy from The Police. make it so
You can tell we're entering the tough of disillusion in the Gartner hype cycle when Theo starts sounding like an angry boomer
This is the "Chat GPT we have at home" version of that meme
In my 20+ years of learning this language I've never once seen or heard anyone use the word 'bevy'. Amazon thinks connecting with their users and customers is so tedious, that they need to AI generate announcements they put out for them.
Certainly, a bevy of announcements garners generative automation directives.
I really wish you’d let your issue with long sentences go. We heard it the first dozen times. We got it. We understand. It doesn’t need further attention.

4:28 you've missed the tweet: "repetitive and tedious tasks *and* code." not just 70% of repetitive coding (I will concede that they most definitely lumped these three together for a bigger part of the pie with selling it). Using this as a way to immediately set the theme that this is bad isn't very helpful, considering you then poll your audience (which alone, is always a bad metric) to justify a strong take.
You don’t like long sentences and refined vocabulary, we get it. But that is your preference.
9:20 If you have 10+ YOE why do you require a master's degree??? What's the point?
K we get it bro- its poorly written. Mention your dissatisfaction and move on. There is no need to analyize how every single paragraph and sentence is written (at least on a dev channel).
Faster to watch theo's new vid about AWS than how fast new frameworks come out of the JS ecosystem
That rant felt good to watch, thank you :D
Each time I open one of your AI videos is a complaining about the writing. Yeah, I get it "repetitive" writing, is just writing, a lot of books are written like that. To be real, just use an AI to summarize the all the text and move on.
It was the funniest video I could imagine I would watch Also I really love this raging dynamic it was so on point damn
Hey, so you may have covered this, but how long are the sentences?
The way you analyze the sentences makes me believe that you have amazing writing (or copywriting) skills. Could you please make a video on writing effectively? I feel it could be a super interesting video and many of us would watch it!
Also, why do all these videos (Q, github copilot spaces etc.) so long intros with absolutely 0 information... 🤨
"this is like the elevator music in the way for your lobotomy" got me dying
Q is a all-knowing-being in StarTrek Enterprise
Theo, I love hearing you complain . ...man, that music . I turned it up just to let it wash over me
I love his critique of Jassy's compositional writing.
I literally lol when you said corp onboarding music 😂
You do not like the writting structure, we get it. There is no point in stopping every 2 minutes to keep bashing on a word, a parenthesis, etc. It is so off putting when you are annoyed at something and want to convince your audience to side with you. You may be correct, in fact the writting does suck, BUT it is so annoying that how often you wanna get ur point accross someimes
dude you roasted Q lmaoo i was laughing my ass off at your commentary
There have been times at work when i spent a substantial part of each day on tedious tasks. I wrote programs to automate a lot of the work involved in those tedious tasks and now they occupy at most a few minutes each day for anyone doing them including me. Isn't this what programmers are supposed to do with tedious tasks?
8:57 that song is giving me flashbacks from working customer service jobs lmao
let’s talk about how obvious it is that the Amazon logo is a phallus seen from the underside
2:30 seems that Amazon already achieved their goal, flipping the percentage up on its head, even without their magic new tool!
Its a bit wrong to ask what percent are tedious tasks, because that to some degree normalizes the idea that we should have no tedious tasks and only do magical fun stuff. No, our jobs also consist of tedious tasks, and that is fine. Some problems are tedious and require manual labor, and that is also fine. Some can be automated, fx supermaven offering to duplicate a set of tw classes, that is also fine. What the advance of cloud did for us wasn’t magically automating the cloud, instead it gave us an unprecedented degree of control over a set of standardized services, which in turn made it possible for us to not reinvent a lot of the boilerplate. It was not automation, it was standardization and consolidation. AWS claiming automation purely because it sounds good in the AI era.
I know it was live and not intentional , but sadly you framed the vote so , if you said something like "finally I can do stuff that matters so I don't have to rewrite xxxx everytime who feels the same" and than started the vote it would Look different :p. Still good video love your insights.
elevator music on the way to your lobotomy fucking got me 💀💀
Theo is a Pokémon fan confirmed
periods are actually optional. It should be obvious without me putting a dot on your screen. They're not used it a lot of languages.
Meetings count. They are the bane of my existence as a dev. They destroy everything in their path, from my time on this earth to my joie de vivre. Scrum sucked the very life from my soul and left me a husk of the person I once was.
Can't deal with your bickering. Clicking away. I came here to learn about Q but can't deal with your negativity man!
Coming out of ~6 months of trying to update all of our old node services to node 20 🙃if Q can do that I'll give it a shot
I once tried fig (acquired by aws now) and it was kinda useful, but not as much as the same in code on an IDE
I would say over 70% of time is for tedious tasks! The more lines of code you have and code that has no clear design and/or architecture the larger the tedious tasks go up!
They just need to add more leadership principles.
Less complaining about the writing style, more useful feedback please... I'm a longtime fan but these past few reacting to AI videos have been hard to watch.
at 12:30 that videos voice sounds like it's a human talking in the cadence and style of an AI voice
I used AI to summarize what AI spewed up, this is what it came up with: "AWS was created to reduce time spent on infrastructure management for developers. Now, Amazon Q is launched to tackle the issue of developers spending too much time on repetitive tasks and coding. Q assists in generating, testing, debugging, and transforming code, as well as accessing and analyzing internal data, simplifying tasks and app development. Companies like Brightcove, British Telecom, and others are already using Q, showing its potential to enhance innovation and productivity."
New business idea : AI-generated announcement AI coding as a Service, aka AIGenaACaaS.
$20 per month chatbot does a better job at writing than $200k+ L6+ 'marketing' manager at Amazon.
Theo whining about everything being cringe, is cringe.
Ah yes, AI job postings and parse applications, and applicants using AI to game the system, and AI then re-summarizing the expanded AI resume, and then goinng through AI expansin to share with HR. The AI loop is complete. It's .... beautiful .... * throws up *
That Ai generated job ad(vert) with the "10+ years experience of marketing Ai" once again shows how these postings don't line-up with what technology "actually" existed 10 yrs ago. More gaslighting and spoofs.
My god, a generated Job posting? What could possibly go wrong. That's just insanity. How do you hire for a specific role...
I am glad to see AIs have gone from gobbling up all public data they can to also gobbling up all the private data companies have on you as well /s
ngl I use replit and its kinda sick... the more things move to infrastructure as code this will save tons of time by defining simple human language arguments into specific proven and safe setups.
I hope you're not paying them any money. The company is run by douchebags.
It is also integrated into the AWS console and unfortunately not really better than just googling.
There’s nothing wrong with any of this. This is the techno hellscape we deserve
right devops iac code sucks and is tough to maintain, I am working on promptinfra to get rid of nonsense like terraform. It should not be this difficult to get the devs the infrastructure in place that they need.
Its interesting Amazon's early growth was ecommerce which is now overrun by low quality dropshipper/resellers with untrustworthy user ratings and does not make much profit, while AWS which expanded from internal dev needs is highly profitable.
I can't wait for the moment antitrust laws force Amazon to split AWS and its e-commerce businesses, and see how the latter deal with not having virtually free access to the biggest Cloud provider in the world.
Anyone made any jokes yet about having to wait in the "Q"?
Does Theo think .Net is Java?
Theo is AI generated
I've had Q appear in my VS Code for the past, idk, 2-3 months? It came as part of the AWS Toolkit extension. I've just overlooked it because I didn't ask for it, and found it annoying. Coincidentally, just this week it was extracted into its own extension instead of being included. I guess that must be part of it being out of beta.
Also it was interfering with Copilot in Jetbrains IDEs. I had to disable AWS toolkit because of this and I’m happy they moved this to a separate plugin.
What if billion dollar companies outsourced things to Fiverr?
inspired by StarTrek Q
Most of the rhetoric trying to sell these products is just a lie that they hope people will believe if they just keep spamming us with it 😅
Too much hateful comments theo, you started being annoying, hard to listen to
Bring crypto bros back. I hate it here
I hate that I’m starting to agree…
Hear me out, a cryptocurrency... Powered by AI
cracks me up how angry he gets at little things. here's a comment.
Make an AI that documenta my Code and fix the long Email/issue chains and im happy
Out of all the AI tools Amazon Q is the most useless so far - tried to ask it some simple things about AWS few times only to see it melt and spew garbage.
Coolify
20% is a lot
13:38 - I know it may not seem like it, but it’s highly likely they shot this footage themselves. I’ve actually been in and at photo shoots like these (competitor to Amazon) and _even that_ was just for our internal use. It surprised me at first. Given it’s a major brand play (and yes, cheesy as it is) I don’t see why they wouldn’t have the budget to have at least sourced the original footage themselves.
When I worked at Amazon, “frugality” was the top company value. We’re talking about a business that refused to buy desks for employees because screwing 2x4’s to a door was 30% cheaper
people get too emotional on bigcorp corp speaking corp shit this text is 101% AI generated, even if the AI agent was a human (we call them NPCs) it just says what statistically should say why to spend time reading AI/NPC content? I already knew all this artcile was gonna say on the first sentence.
These are the videos we love. Flaming mediocrity
Probably 5050
It was very annoying listening to you spending so much time on the sentences used in the announcement. I think it really damages the quality of your content.
Stop giving your opinion and THEN do a poll... That is pointless. It is called a bias !
has anyone ever told you that u look like freddie mercury?
It's always cute watching twitter people read posts that are more than a single sentance and be like "OMG SO WORDY AI WAS HERE 4-SURE"
Does Jira count?
developers spend a lot of time on AWS bBECAUSE THEIR GUI SU....X!
Entertaining hate but kind of weak re substantive criticisms of the actual products
This was a good video to watch to start the work day, gave me a good laugh with some of the stuff you were saying 😂 My man's not happy. He's not wrong tho.

You spent half the video bitching about long sentences. Let it go man
Ehh... Amazon☕️
meta - one love 🥰 so different from amazon ♥
I don't use amazon for anything if i can help it...
@@m12652same, I try to avoid them like the plague
Lol what is cringe about Amazon Q? I think its a great name. Why are you so negative about the LLM space? You should stick to making frontend related videos.
Theo has become an annoying and obnoxious nagging machine. He dislikes everything and only his "thing" is the best tech ever. Unsubscribing
