Programming In The Age Of Generative AI
OpenSource For U, Thursday, July 10th, 2025
Learn how generative AI is changing the face of writing, testing, and even thinking about code.
Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is no longer science fiction. It has become part of our lives as an empowered force that can understand natural language and produce human-like text, images, and even code.
There are many AI tools today that can boost the software development process, if not totally automate it. What would have taken many hours to do manually - writing boilerplate code, debugging for several hours only to find syntax errors, and spending long hours on a function documentation - can now take seconds thanks to the likes of GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, or Amazon Code Whisperer. These models are fed on huge datasets of code and text, which make up their large language models (LLM), and prompt them to understand how to respond in advanced ways even better than experienced developers.
