I've been using AWS Q Developer for a few months now but it turns out I've barely scratched the surface.

Srini, Director of Generative AI Applications and Developer Experiences at Amazon Web Services, who leads the team behind Q, agreed to be interviewed by me.

We discuss:

• How AWS Q Developer helps software engineers with coding, testing, and debugging

• How Amazon used AI to save 4,500 years of development time

• Why AI won’t replace developers—but developers using AI will dominate

• The future of AI in software development and how beginners can stay ahead
