Claude Code vs Kiro: what 6 developers chose.

Amazon employee here. - Can confirm that channel exists and it's great. Rofl every day for all the stupidity happening in the company. - Despite many seeing Amazon as outsider for AI, it's actually a great place to work (if not fired). We have free access to all frontier models, including today's Mythos release for all employees. - Every model available on Bedrock is available for free with no caps. I think it's because these models are deployed on trainium chips which is essentially free for Amazon. - Claude code and Codex are available unlimited for employees. - For this one I will be bitten

I feel Gastown is an attempt at answering: what if i push the multi-agent paradigm to its chaotic end? But I think the point that Yegge doesn't address and that I had to discover for myself is: getting many agents working in parallel doing different things -- while cool and exciting (in an anthromorphic way) -- might not actually be solving the right problem. The bottleneck in development isn't workflow orchestration (what Gastown does) -- it's actually problem decomposition . And Beads doesn't actually handle the decomposed problem well. I thought it did. But all it is is a task-graph system.

Result quality is similar, but Claude Code got stuck on tool-call errors while Kiro worked, and Kiro's UX is simpler.
