Why do Al code generators impress and disappoint us at the same time? While they boast impressive capabilities, we often use the generated code for only prototyping before refining it manually. The reason? Natural language is inefficient for specifying every implementation detail.
In this talk, we’ll embark on a journey to push the limits of code generator efficiency. Together with our AI sidekick, we’ll develop a new programming language that enables us to create powerful React components in just a few lines of code. Our components will harness advanced features like component nesting and two-way binding of inputs. Don’t worry if you’re new to React, as I’ll cover the basics during the talk.
Discover how to truly collaborate with AI, going beyond single prompts. You’ll learn to use AI as a toolsmith to create tools for your everyday work in natural language. By leveraging your tool’s syntax to generate code, you’ll significantly boost your efficiency.
Join me on this exciting adventure and see how AI-powered tools will revolutionize the way you create software. This talk is perfect for junior and experienced developers alike who are interested in the future of
AI-driven software development.
