Three weeks ago I published a post on the new AWS region in New Zealand (AP-SOUTHEAST-6). This led to an incredible opportunity to visit New Zealand, where I met passionate builders and introduced myself at several events, including a meeting without a server and platform, AWS and programming, programming, Cloud Clubs in Auckland and AWS Community Day New Zealand.
During my process of creating content for these presentations, I discovered a useful function in Amazon Q Cli called Tangent Mode. This feature has transformed as I focused on creating conversation checkpoints that allow you to explore the lateral themes without losing the main thread.
This feature is in experimental mode and you can enable it q settings chat.enableTangentMode true. Try it and see if it helps you.
