On Coding And Artificial Intelligence
AI, or Artificial Intelligence, is revolutionizing technology and software development at the moment, and to no surprise. AI can help humanity in many different areas, such as diagnosing an illness at an early stage with machine learning, or assisting a driver with direction through GPS navigation, or driving you to a desired destination with autonomous vehicles. The integration of AI tools in programming workflows has transformed how developers approach coding and software engineering challenges.
While it is debatable whether or not we should trust AI to take over crucial areas of our lives (have you seen “Terminator?”), one area I found Artificial Intelligence to be particularly useful in is programming and software development workflows. Using the right AI development tools and code completion extensions, you can save yourself a lot of time while coding with AI enabled. These modern developer tools are becoming essential for programming productivity and efficient software development.
You have two options if you want AI to help you write code and enhance your programming productivity:
Kite. It is a well known tool available for many IDEs and editors. It can be downloaded from here. The only problem is, Kite seems to be unavailable at the moment of writing.
TabNine. This is what I’ve been using personally in my Visual Studio Code for AI-powered code completion, and I like TabNine very much. TabNine can be installed in VSCode from here.
To quote the developers of TabNine: “Tabnine is an AI-powered code completion extension trusted by millions of developers around the world. Whether you’re just getting started as a developer or if you’ve been doing it for decades, Tabnine will help you code twice as fast with half the keystrokes – all in your favorite IDE.”
It’s very easy to set up and is even easier to use, making it perfect for developers looking to enhance their coding productivity with AI assistance. I think you should give TabNine Cloud Assistant a try as it represents the future of AI-powered programming tools.
Hope this article will help you get even more productive while writing code. Thanks for your time, and have a great day!
