Used it didn't like it. Claude Code is far better because the active collaboration part.

Different use cases, IMO. With a cloud solution like this it's much easier to ask it to solve whatever issues or backlog tasks you have and continue working on your own on your main project. I don't think this is a solution for vibecoding or for the AI copilot crowd

It is also great for on the go when you only have a phone. I frequently fire off agents when I get a new idea or some backlog I want to tackle while I’m the gym - the 2 minute rest periods between sets is perfect to write up a prompt or review some changes.

So are there just 100 developers sitting in the edge of their seats constantly refreshing all the spy reports from other AI companies, waiting to copy the exact same idea and shit it out at top speed?

Or is it more of a vibe code thing where every new feature from everyone is recreated by every other company in a matter of days?

Do they even realize they are destroying their own industry economics? The only reason anyone uses big tech is because there are no alternatives

I thought I would like it based on the pitch but gave up using it after just a handful of times

Liking kiro a lot these days

How long is the queue for invites to Kiro these days? I joined the wait-list right after it launched.

Seemingly infinite, I don't think they've invited anyone from the list so far.

Do you need an invitation? I'm just using my Amazon Q Dev account that I pay $20 a month for. Works fine with Kiro.
