In this episode we join AWS Senior GTM Specialists Aidin Khosrowshahi and Rakesh Kumar to unpack how Kiro is transforming software development through a spec-driven approach that goes beyond traditional AI-assisted coding. We cover what sets spec-driven development apart from "vibe coding" and why Kiro's spec-first approach matters. We also tackle the mindset shifts developers must make when adopting Kiro. The episode closes with a forward-looking discussion on whether the "Software Engineer" title could eventually be redefined—and the skills and first steps anyone needs to get started with Kiro today.Try Kiro today:kiro.devAWS Hosts: Nolan Chen & Malini ChatterjeeEmail Your Feedback: rethinkpodcast@amazon.com
