We asked Google AI developers how has AI changed your work

Key Takeaways

okay I'm good let's go and 3 2 1 a lot of developers uh were were familiar with the concept of rubber duck programming where we have a rubber duck in front of us while we code and develop and we talk to it to try and better understand what we're trying to achieve and that is that act of trying to explain what you're doing that really helps uncover uh like a bug or just better understand your code and so what AI does and brings to the table for me at least is having a rubber duck that talks back with AI I can do development now without switching context in the same console that I'm doing my work I can also have the AI assistant help me with code completion explain code as well as help with documentation so I can do my work faster quicker and with more assurance that it's going to be correct AI has definitely changed the way I do Development I've been relying on our coding assistant to help me do things like write tests and documentation which I normally put off so it's much better I spent a lot of time switching between different programming languages because of my job and Bard really helps me with that it'll give me a little bit of a code sample it'll tell me what to import and it'll tell me the commands I need to put into terminal to run and get the thing started this saves me so much time from contact switching and I can just get up the ground running with my ideas AI has changed my way to do developments it helped me write code save my time I can stay in a console or stay on my dab environment and without doing the lookup or search it will just autocomplete the library for me AI has been a game changer for me because it really speeds up my development process as I don't have to rely on technical documentation to find answers to my [Music] questions
