How AI Can Make You a Better Developer | The Future of Coding & Engineering
In this episode, we dive into the controversial topic of AI-generated code and its impact on developers. Rather than replacing good developers, AI can be a valuable tool that enhances development skills by assisting with tedious coding tasks and enabling better reflection and improvement. We explore the differences between merely being a coder and becoming a true software engineer, emphasizing the importance of learning, iteration, and the human touch in software development. Key timestamps include discussions on the current state of the developer market, the role of AI in coding, the value of AI as a companion for reflection and learning, and the long-term outlook on AI replacing coding tasks.
