Foojay Podcast #62: Better Coding with AI: Friend or Enemy?
December 02, 2024Author(s)
AI, LLMs, ChatGPT—these are just a few of the buzzwords of the massive revolution unfolding right now.
These tools are reshaping how we work, but they come with a catch: while they help us work faster and smarter, we need to be careful about placing too much trust in them.
I’ve spoken with several guests at the JFall conference in the Netherlands actively working with these tools to learn more about them. And I had a chat with Grace Jansen about a recent Foojay blog post.
