Leveraging AI to become a better developer.

Hello everyone💚,

Welcome back to my blog😊, today, I'm going to be discussing the different ways by which developers can take full advantage of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and not be intimidated by it.

In recent times, Artificial Intelligence e (AI) has arguably become one of the most discussed technology. Everybody is talking about AI, ChatGPT and many other AI tools. With the popularity and efficacy of this technology, it is expected to be intimidated by it or to assume that it is meant for experts or professionals only.

AI is changing the work and changing many processes, transformation is taking place in the ways we live and work through AI. One thing is for sure, AI is here to stay and be better, however, as developers, we can learn to take full advantage of it instead of being intimidated by it.

Specifically for coding, AI is extremely useful and resourceful. There are a million and one ways in which AI can be used to improve your coding skills and we're going to be discussing some of them here.

Code Completion and Prediction

AI can significantly improve code completion and prediction, thereby, making it easier for developers to write code faster and with fewer errors. There are several AI-powered tools built with features that suggest code completions and predictions as you type. This, not only saves time and reduces errors, but it also helps developers avoid common mistakes, improve their code quality and automate repetitive tasks.

Debugging and understanding Error Messages

As developers, we have to sincerely admit that debugging takes a chunk of our time and can be really frustrating and challenging. Amazingly, AI has now significantly improved the debugging and error resolution process and has made it easier for developers to identify and fix issues. AI tools can help analyze and explain error messages to help the developer get more detailed information about the cause of the error. AI, furthermore, assists in the debugging process by automatically suggesting fixes.

Code Review

AI can help with code review by analyzing your code to identify potential errors or performance issues which in turn helps improve the quality of your code.

Code Optimization

Optimization is needed to improve the overall performance of your code. Different AI tools can help evaluate the performance of your code and then suggest optimizations.

Suggestions and Recommendations of Learning Resources

Whether you are a tech newbie or you've been in the industry for a while, you'll always need learning resources. AI can help developers find relevant and personalized learning resources more efficiently. This will help accelerate learning and improve developer productivity.

Examples of AI-powered tools commonly used for code completion and prediction doing all of these are:

-ChatGPT

-Copilot

-Kite

-TabNine

-Codota

-DeepTabNine

-IntelliCode

-CodeX

-Code Ocean

-PyCharm

-CodeAI

-TensorFlow

Ultimately, AI is transforming the world, and we as developers are at the forefront of this transformation. We can choose to embrace AI and start building the future today.
