C++hatGPT: How AI Tools Impact Your Life as a Systems Programmer - Andrei Alexandrescu -NDC TechTown

This talk was recorded at NDC Techtown in Kongsberg, Norway. #ndctechtown #ndcconferences #cplusplus #ai #softwaredeveloper Attend the next NDC conference near you: https://ndcconferences.com https://ndctechtown.com/ Subscribe to our YouTube channel and learn every day: /@NDC The profound influence of generative AI tools on software development has become shockingly obvious, reshaping everything from daily coding to overarching methodologies. This talk has a twofold aim. Firstly, it explores the inner workings of large language models with an eye for leveraging them effectively for coding tasks. Second, it highlights a few "wet intelligence" C++ idioms that remain elusive for current AI tools. Brace yourself for a fascinating journey that traverses from philosophical musings to complex C++ templates, and ventures into the realm of C macros that are often unspoken of in genteel circles. By the end of this talk, which aspires to become horribly outmoded due to the rapid advancement of AI, you will hopefully be better equipped for cooperating with the dynamic field of AI in your C++ development endeavors.
