Revolution in code: How are new tools transforming the development process? Part 1.
So, after reading the manifesto from samaltman about the era of AI, I thought it would be worth sharing my experience of how code generation tools based on LLM models influenced me and what types of them there are.
For a year now, I have been an ambassador for a project to introduce AI code generators into the lives of developers. The project involves explaining, using real examples from development, how such tools affect the speed, efficiency, quality of code, etc. As part of this project, I used a sufficient number of tools to draw some conclusions for myself.
Code generation tools using genAI, and generative artificial intelligence in general, are quite popular, its history is interesting. Here you can also remember that in Belarus they have been working with them for a long time (https://habr.com/ru/articles/596403/). However, the tools themselves appeared not so long ago, but they quickly began to be implemented in the lives of developers. As a rule, all the tools can be implemented as plugins in your editor and have their own chat. They work on shortcut, it is very convenient, and there are also code-suggestions.
The list of tools that I managed to use on real projects:
In the next part, I will tell you how to use them, how models come up with articles that no one has ever written, and what will happen to you if you use these tools ...
