Learning new skills with generative AI | AWS Developer Day 2025
summary
Demonstrates using large language models as a tutor by incrementally prompting with your project context, not dumping full builds, using Amazon Q developer with the @workspace feature and a SecretSauce.md instruction file to surface relevant code and explanations. Shows building a small Rust web API with the Actix‑web crate, converting a get_vegetables stub to get_fruits, highlights serialization and ownership pitfalls, and stresses verifying model output against docs before trusting generated code.
