Deep dives
Role of AI in Code Generation
AI is increasingly being utilized to automate coding tasks beyond simple assistance in integrated development environments (IDEs). Tools are now capable of generating code through natural language inputs, enhancing productivity by reducing the workload of engineers. For instance, DOSU focuses on automating tasks outside the IDE, such as answering queries, triaging issues, and maintaining documentation. This shift allows developers to concentrate more on actual coding by minimizing interruptions from various inquiries and tickets.
