What AI won’t replace in your programming

 


If you give in to the seduction of thinking that AI is a repository of expertise and wisdom that a human couldn’t possibly obtain, you’ll never be able to use AI productively,” Loukides suggests. To effectively use coding tools like AWS CodeWhisperer or Google Codey, you really need to coach them on the output you’re expecting. And to tell the AI, step by step, how to solve your development problems, you first need a deep understanding of the problem and how to prompt the AI to respond.


A developer will also need to be able to evaluate when the AI gets it wrong. Again, this requires a certain level of expertise. Yes, we want coding assistants to help us become more ambitious in the projects we take on, as Willison has separately encouraged, but no, they’re simply not going to remove developers’ need to figure out code. Nor should we want them to, which brings me back to Willison’s first point.
