Born during the holy shift of the pixelated eighties. Raised in the screeches & whistles of the digital infiltration. Reached consciousness just as we all became officially connected. Spent a decade figuring things out under various trees and in big dark rooms. Fell in love. Started to floss. Helped bring someone new to Earth. Made HireHunt. Joined AWS.

Can you imagine AWS...minus the AWS complexity?
LEAP Stacks 2 is live 🚀

No multi-day setup.
No infrastructure archaeology.
No surprise bills.

LEAP Stacks 2 lets you launch GenAI apps on AWS in minutes.

What you get:
• ⚡ One-click full-stack GenAI prototypes
• 🧠 Bedrock chatbots, RAG, agents, voice, multimodal & more
• 🔐 Secure by default (IAM, auth, isolation handled)
• 📊 Built-in observability (costs, latency, usage)
• 🧹 Auto-cleanup to avoid bill shock
• </> Export to GitHub & connect to Kiro

All 12 included stacks can be used as standalone full-stack applications...

Or they can connect to each other like lego blocks to build larger applications.

This is for:
👉 Developers to build and unlock value from AI, not wire infrastructure
👉 Solution Architects demoing GenAI workflows fast
👉 Startups validating AI MVPs
👉 Web devs starting their cloud AI engineering journey

Try it and let me know what you think!

“We’re living with an alien roommate.”
That’s how Scott Galloway describes AI, and I couldn’t agree more.

If you feel I’ve been quite lately, it’s because I’ve been spending time with our new roommate.

And with others who are pioneering our future with it.

From Wael Salloum shaping AI roadmaps at MENAT’s unicorns.
To Kate Kamarchuk taking GenAI to market and unlocking ROI.
From Nour Al Hassan building Arabic language models at Tarjama AI.
To Dr. Srinivas Telukunta leading Agentic AI globally at PepsiCo.

What’s becoming clear is this:
We’re no longer all sharing the same reality.

Once it clicks beyond the hype, progress goes exponential.
If it doesn’t, the gap grows fast...and quietly.

But for it ‘to click’, you need the right mindset and the right tools to cut through the noise.

Prototyping, evals, context, human-in-the-loop...it’s a lot to take in.

Starting tomorrow, I’ll share what I’ve been building for 6+ months to help developers accelerate their AI engineering journey.

Plus the lessons I’ve picked up from those already living in the future.

Stay tuned.
