Julia Muiruri - Will AI really take my job? - A Call for Complete Developer Mindshift!

AI is changing how we develop software. AI tools can generate, complete, debug, optimize, and review code. But how do you use them effectively and responsibly? How do you enhance your creativity and productivity, without losing your identity and autonomy as a developer?
In this session, you will learn about the current state of AI tools for software development, and how they can help you at distinct stages of your career, which may include.
Starting off as a newbie developer
Increasing your confidence as a junior developer
Delivering higher quality work after a promotion to senior developer
You will also discover the challenges and opportunities of working with AI as a co-creator, and how to adopt a new mindset that embraces AI as a partner, not a competitor.
Join me, as we walk through a new world of AI and developers co-existing to accelerate innovation through short demos on AI code generation/ completion tools, debugging and documentation tools and code review tools.
