You're a professional, using Python for real, serious work. Why would you even consider using an AI coding assistant? Even suggesting it sounds kind of fishy. Maybe even insulting.
But there are good times and places for an AI coding assistant - perhaps even for you! Are you:
- tossing together a web experiment that could stand to look a little nicer than your CSS and JavaScript skills usually allow?
- exploring a new library or platform that could have better documentation and examples?
- tired of going back and forth from your IDE to searching for needed details like function signatures and argument types?
These are all great times for even expert Python programmers to leverage an AI coding assistant. And the assistants are improving at a fast clip.
This talk will show you how to get started with an AI assistant and go through examples of scenarios where it can help. You'll leave the session knowing whether one can be valuable to you, and if so, where and when it's worth trying.
