To opt out of sharing your telemetry data in Kiro, use this procedure: 1. Open Settings in Kiro. 2. Switch to the User sub-tab. 3. Choose Application, and from the drop-down choose Telemetry and Content. 4. In the Telemetry and Content drop-down field, select Disabled to disable all product telemetry and user data collection. source: https://kiro.dev/docs/reference/privacy-and-security/#opt-ou...
Is there a way to confirm this works or do we just have to trust that settings will be honored?
Just like using an AI model, you can’t actually know for sure that it won’t do anything malicious with what interfaces you give it access to. You just have to trust it.

Correct but we are never fungible. That’s the trick for a reliable career. I’ve survived every single layoff season since 1995.
Ironically, Claude Code has me working in lower-level languages with more low-level tools than ever before, simply because of how powerful it is, particularly as a terminal tool. I've always been more of a GUI person, but now the editor I use most often is Helix. If I've atrophied in certain aspects of my thinking, I honestly think I've more than made up for it in learning how to engineer the context and requirements…

The original submission to HN stated that it was from Amazon / AWS in the title of the submission, however that has since been edited by a moderator to match the title of the blogpost, which does not mention Amazon / AWS. To be clear, we have no intent to hide that Kiro is from Amazon / AWS, that's why you'll see Matt Garman, for example, posting about Kiro: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:735055…
I was at AWS for half a decade. I think a simple, from AWS or Sponsored by AWS, would have been good.
It's in the page footer fwiw. I agree it should be more prominent tho.

5070Ti user here: We are 150 people in a SME and most of our projects NDA for gov & defense clients absolutely forbid us to use any cloud based IDE tools like GitHub Copilot etc. Would love for this project to provide a BYOK and even Bring Your Own Inference Endpoint. You can still create licensing terms for business clients.
What models do you use that you've found to be powerful enough to be helpful?
I have the same question, do you use already an on prem RAG system?

#346Important details from the FAQ, emphasis mine: > For users who access Kiro with Pro or Pro+ tiers once they are available, your content is not used to train any underlying foundation models (FMs). AWS might collect and use client-side telemetry and usage metrics for service improvement purposes. You can opt out of this data collection by adjusting your settings in the IDE. For the Kiro Free tier and during preview, y…
This is the inevitable decline where we all eventually don't care about the source code instructions anymore, just like the transition from assembly to C. Sorry in advance, I'm a privacy holdout too, but this isn't the interesting part of what's happening. I tried Kiro and it is on par with Claude or Crystal, nothing special at all.
Within the next couple of years there's going to be a 4-for-1 discount on software engineers. Welcome to The Matrix. You'd best find Morpheus.
Check out the comments on https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44567857 and tell me what the alternative future is. Best wishes and good luck.

#347Important: it's another fork of VSCode. I thought AI was ushering in the age of innovation so why is the only innovation anyone seems capable of copying something that already exists...? In all actuality, AI seems to be ushering out the age of innovation since people now consider it foolish to spend their time trying to innovate instead of clone
It does show that they're not limited to just greenfield projects, which is a common perspective. That said, IDK if a fork that is never planned to be merged back in really constitutes a non-greenfield project. It's more like a greenfield with a head start.

#348I wonder if it's entirely coincidental that "KIRO" is a Seattle-area (amazon land) television station.

#350This is exactly how I've been building software with AI lately. Getting AI to create a detailed plan with phases, then implement and use a separate AI to review the code. It works quite well! Curious to see how well it works when implemented directly in the IDE
At what point does the manager fire you and just let the AIs have at it ;)
Nah, you never voluntarily reduce headcount. Headcount is what keeps your salary coming. Any manager worth their salt would use this newfound productivity to infringe on other teams' domains: Hostile Takeover => More Headcount => Promotion. We'll see a lot of attempted empire building over the next couple years while all this gets sorted out.
