Since March 2023 (the release of GPT4) I've worked almost fulltime with AI-powered software development. Both as a productivity tool, to get work done faster and better, and also as way of building new types of products and features that were previously impossible. In fact, GenAI has completely changed the way I work and the way I look at software development. It feels like I've gained superpowers, but I've had to unlearn and change habits that I've built up over 30 years. Coding with AI is a very different way of working. And like any other skill, you kind of suck at it at first but improve with practice. The transition to this strange new world can be jarring, but it is unavoidable. Being a developer in 2024 and not coding with AI is the equivalent of being 2022 and manually writing machine code or manually creating punched cards. In this talk I'll share practical experiences from AI-powered software development - tips, tricks, and pitfalls - using mostly live demos. These techniques will reduce your time from Idea to Working Code, which is a nice feeling 🙂 [...] TIMECODES 00:00 Intro 01:40 2 Metaphors for generative AI 02:16 Gen AI is more powerful than you think 03:40 Mindset 04:50 It's the wild west right now 06:16 Demo 1: Rapid prototyping 14:47 AI in your IDE 16:35 Demo 2: Working with APIs 32:41 Demo: Working with legacy code 40:45 The joy of coding 41:42 Quality 43:16 Recalibrate 44:17 Probable future 45:22 Key takeaways 46:15 Outro Download slides and read the full abstract here: https://gotocph.com/2024/sessions/3226 RECOMMENDED BOOKS Alex Castrounis • AI for People and Business • https://amzn.to/3NYKKTo Phil Winder • Reinforcement Learning • https://amzn.to/3t1S1VZ Holden Karau, Trevor Grant, Boris Lublinsky, Richard Liu & Ilan Filonenko • Kubeflow for Machine Learning • https://amzn.to/3JVngcx Kelleher & Tierney • Data Science (The MIT Press Essential Knowledge series) • https://amzn.to/3AQmIRg Lakshmanan, Robinson & Munn • Machine Learning Design Patterns • https://amzn.to/2ZD7t0x Lakshmanan, Görner & Gillard • Practical Machine Learning for Computer Vision • https://amzn.to/3m9HNjP https://bsky.app/profile/gotocon.com https://twitter.com/GOTOcon https://www.linkedin.com/company/goto- https://www.instagram.com/goto_con https://www.facebook.com/GOTOConferences #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #AIAssistant #ML #LLM #DeveloperProductivity #LegacyCode #API #APIs #HenrikKniberg CHANNEL MEMBERSHIP BONUS Join this channel to get early access to videos & other perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs_tLP3AiwYKwdUHpltJPuA/join Looking for a unique learning experience?
