Amazon’s attempts at AI tooling are just far too behind to be taken seriously. Kiro, Quick whatever, the Alexa updates. All just a hot mess. Amazon’s own employees appear to have abandoned Kiro en mass when allowed to just use Claude.
Amazon should just focus on being a utility compute provider. Anything they try to do on top of that is just consistently second rate.
- computomatic 4mo agoIt’s all relative. Kiro is second to Claude Code, but Amazon isn’t really competing with Anthropic. They need something better than Microsoft/Github Copilot and that is a low, low bar.

- antonvs 4mo agoBecause they have a multi-trillion dollar market cap that they need to justify and maintain.
- computomatic 4mo agoEnterprise GTM for these behemoths relies on offering everything a customer needs so they don’t shop around. It’s Microsoft’s playbook and AWS copies it for the same market. That’s why they each offer a “good enough” (but objectively garbage) solution for everything under the sun.
