JetBrains IDE Developer Productivity & Code Generation Support • Garth Gilmour • GOTO 2024

This presentation was recorded at Trifork's Code Evolution 2024. https://trifork.info/code-evolution-2024 Garth Gilmour - Developer Advocate at JetBrains @garthgilmourni RESOURCES https://medium.com/@garthgilmour https://twitter.com/GarthGilmour https://github.com/garthgilmour https://linkedin.com/in/garthgilmour ABSTRACT Generative AI can help you draft an email, compose a presentation or tender for a contract. But how can it assist the working developer with the daily grind, and to what extent? Let's explore this question, using the JetBrains AI Assistant and IntelliJ IDEA. We will try to solve multiple programming tasks using this tooling. Some will be applicable to any IT system, but others will be from niche problem domains. Along the way we will see if and how the AI Assistant can help - from researching the topic and authoring tested code to drafting commit messages and producing documentation. We’ll also review what fine grained control is available, and discuss common questions and concerns about admitting AI into your developer workflows.
