“The Java 8-to-17 migration feature alone can save teams months. AWS-specific knowledge is unmatched.”
“Define schema once, get types and validation. The TypeScript inference is seamless. Essential for any TypeScript project.”
“Only makes sense if you're deep in AWS. The general coding assistance lags behind Copilot and Claude.”
