Hello my faithful devotees. I am home alone today, with the doggo. She suffered a pretty bad fall from the car a couple days ago, and was having a lot of trouble walking until today. She seems to be back to her normal self, or at least very close to it. I gotta be more careful, she just turned 13 recently.
So has anyone messed around with kiro? I've seen kilo advertised on reddit, but when I searched for it, I found kiro which seems like some kind of Claude wrapper for AWS. For a moment I was troubled cuz I tried to burn through all my tokens yesterday on my $20 plans for Claude and Codex, and I was experiencing AI withdrawals.
Turns out there are a metric fuckton of AI services that are either free, or pretty cheap. Cursor came up but I didn't get a chance to try it out as my Claude weekly reset today. Codex resets tomorrow. And I don't know what else to build anymore.
I scraped basketball reference this afternoon-evening. I'm pretty sure it's illegal to scrape a site like that, and when I've tried before it was a royal pain in the ass to wire up scrapy and a coordinator and a redis queue. Kiro made a pipeline in a few minutes, and I wonder if it was good at using AWS spot instances because it's an AWS project. I dunno.
What I'm neglecting is reading. I'm spending too much time asking the AI to put things together, I'm really not spending enough time reading about the things that it recommends. Which is pretty dumb, because how can you build something if you don't know about the materials used.
I guess I've have to be content with it being a slow day today. I'm just happy the doggo is back to good health, so I'll take that win where I can. In the meantime I think I'm going to prioritize what I should do a deep dive into, reading-wise. Anyways.
