Unlocking the Full Power of AI Coding Tools: Practical advice for Developers
Conference (BEGINNER level)
Are AI coding tools a true game-changer or just another fleeting trend?
Join this session to cut through the hype and learn how to use AI to your advantage in your development journey.
This talk is about finding the right balance and learning how to integrate AI tools intelligently into your workflow for real, measurable results.
We’ll draw from hands-on experiences to show how AI coding assistants can supercharge your productivity and how, misused, they can doom you to a life of debugging hell. You’ll see practical techniques to use AI to speed up design, gain deeper insights into your code, and occasionally catch sneaky bugs that even experienced developers might miss.
This isn’t about replacing developers but teaming up with AI as a collaborative partner. You’ll walk away with proven strategies for maintaining code quality, avoiding common pitfalls, and seamlessly weaving AI into your development process. Whether you’re a seasoned developer or just starting your career, this session will give you actionable insights to turn AI from a buzzword into your friendly (and valuable) coding ally.
