Contrary to popular belief, using cutting-edge artificial intelligence tools slowed down experienced software developers when they were working in codebases familiar to them, rather than supercharging ...

Software engineering is among the many fields being changed with the fast progress in large language models (LLMs). In a few years, LLMs have evolved from advanced code autocomplete tools to AI agents ...

Before performing the study, the developers in question expected the AI tools would lead to a 24 percent reduction in the time needed for their assigned tasks. Even after completing those tasks, the ...

Software engineer workflows have been transformed in recent years by an influx of AI coding tools like Cursor and GitHub Copilot, which promise to enhance productivity by automatically writing lines ...

It’s time we officially bury the idea that AI means we won’t need software developers. For years, we’ve heard that generative AI and large language models (LLMs) are coming for our jobs. In software ...

We’re seeing a wave of new generative AI tools that can write text, generate images, create music and more. Some can even write computer code, which makes sense when you think that computer code is ...

One area where generative AI tools have shown real potential is assisting developers in creating software, as well as the testing platforms and documentation that go along with it, according to a new ...
