In our continued coverage of AWS Re:Invent 2024, i had the pleasure of speaking to one of the coolest, smartest and most passionate AWS ambassador yet. Rory Richardson was electrifying. In this episode, we discuss Amazon Q Developer, a tool that promises to reshape not just how developers approach code, automation, and innovation, but also how ops teams and security teams and FInOps teams can benefit as well. Our guest, a long-time AWS insider with 12 years of experience, shares insights on why Q Developer might just be the coolest thing they've worked on—ever.
🛠️ Some highlights:
► The evolution of Q Developer from a simple IDE plugin to a comprehensive DevOps and operations powerhouse.
► How Q Developer tackles the 35 hours of developer toil outside of writing fresh code—think modernization, automation, and transformation.
► Natural language as the future of coding and the delicate balance between abstraction and precision.
► Agents vs. Assistants: What’s the difference, and how do they empower developers?
► The big picture of intent-based development—moving from "coding" to "orchestrating."
Mainframe migrations, legacy tech, and the role of AI in tackling monolithic applications.
💡 Plus:
► The philosophy behind Q Developer’s integration with tools like GitLab for seamless pipeline management.
► A candid discussion about AWS’s vision for democratizing innovation and creating tools for the next generation of builders.
► Whether you're a seasoned developer, a tech enthusiast, or just curious about the future of software engineering, this episode is packed with insights, analogies (Jarvis fans, rejoice!), and real-world examples of how generative AI is transforming the industry.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
