For the last month or so I have been making good use of a couple of AI tools in my daily coding and trying to learn about any others that I can include in my work processes. I am finding the AI toolset to be very diverse and it is not always obvious which tool is the best for any particular task. In these pages, I will document my experience with using the current toolsets to hopefully help you choose the tool that makes you the most productive. For now, this article from InfoWorld pretty well sums up how I am using them now, with some good ideas for the future.
The article from InfoWorld titled “Coding with AI: Tips and best practices from developers” touches upon the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into coding practices. It emphasizes various applications and guidelines:
- Generating Documentation: The AI can be used to generate documentation from code and vice versa.
- Solutions to Pre-existing Problems: AI can offer solutions to problems that have already been resolved.
- Code Enhancement: The AI assists in updating or cleaning up the code.
- Faster Coding: It suggests the possibility of AI aiding in speeding up the coding process, although the article is non-committal on this point by adding “maybe”.
- Ethical Concerns: It is important to be mindful of ethical considerations, especially regarding intellectual property rights and potential biases when utilizing AI in coding processes.
- Generative AI in Coding: The use of generative AI is highlighted, indicating its capability to create content.
- Pair Programming with AI: The idea of AI pair programming is mentioned, suggesting it could be a boon or a bane for coders. Some developers have shared their experiences with using generative AI in their coding tasks.
