    Modernizing Java applications with AWS Q Developer: A journey from legacy to AI-powered developmentCompany blog post, HCLTech

    On a Spring Boot app the Java upgrade took about 3.7 hours of tool time, and Q wrote 162 or more test cases in about a day. On a WebLogic payment system /transform at times failed and the upgrade took about 12 hours with manual fallback, and the team found iterative, human-guided work beat one-click transformations.

    "It was observed that an iterative, human-guided approach was most effective when using AWS Q Developer."

    Giving AWS Q Developer CLI a second lookPersonal blog post, chrisebert.net

    Revisiting Q Developer, Ebert came away with a much more favorable impression than nearly a year earlier; using claude-4-sonnet in the Q CLI, never hit throttling, unlike Claude Code at work. Will "likely" keep Claude Code at work but would strongly consider Q CLI for new side projects for its pricing.

    "I'll likely continue using Claude Code at work since this tool already has widespread adoption and support within my organization. However, due to Amazon's relatively inexpensive pricing model, I would strongly consider using Q Developer CLI in any new side projects I pursue in the future."

    After a week alternating with Claude Code, LaCour found Q strong on AWS APIs and CloudFormation. But Q sometimes renamed a class without updating the rest of the code, causing build errors he had to coach it through.

    "In one such instance, it renamed a class to be much more descriptive, but failed to make the required changes to other parts of the code, resulting in build errors."

With access solved they are switching to Q for its cost visibility and acceptance and rejection counts, and Q's Java migrations worked in Elesin's own test.

  70. Mixed

    Stephen A. Fuqua, Director, Software Engineering at Ed-Fi Alliance

    Grudgingly Accepting AI Coding AssistantsEngineering director's blog post, Stephen A. Fuqua

    Fuqua reports that Q found null-handling edge cases and saved about 20 minutes on C# unit tests, although he had to convert its XUnit output to NUnit. He allows his teams to use coding assistants while retaining mandatory peer review and security checks.

    "Overall, I estimate it saved me about 20 minutes time on that task. And it helped find a low probability bug in the system-under-test that I may have missed. That was useful."
    Excerpt, Stephen A. Fuqua
    "Mandatory peer review and merge process into the protected main branch that generates our binary releases."
