Next generation developer tools that incorporate generative AI are everywhere, but how good are they, and. more importantly, how useful. In this talk I am going to share what I have learned from using these tools over the last 12 months. I will cover the kinds of day-to-day scenarios and use cases I am finding them useful for, how they are helping me address some of my developer problems, and tips I have learned to more effectively use these tools. This session contains live coding/demos that will help you see this in action.
