From ChatGPT to GitHub Copilot, AI is becoming part of the software developer toolbelt. What does that mean for how we teach the next generation of engineers?
“AI in software development is here to stay,” GitLab asserted in its 2023 Global DevSecOps report. Around one in four of those surveyed are already using AI to help them code, with a further two-thirds planning on using it to make their lives easier in the next two years.
By simplifying a variety of programming tasks, Generative AI tools – including coding assistants like GitHub Copilot – have very quickly become useful to software developers of all experience levels, with no sign of things slowing down from here.
