18:35 - Half Human, Half AI: The New Life of a Software Developer , Mati Horowitz, Senior AI Engineer @ Elementor

Writing code is not always a joy, it includes repetitive and boring code tasks. The newest solution is using AI to write code, but every so often it can lead to useless suggestions or the need to entirely re-write the results.
Today, about 50% of my code is written by artificial intelligence, and no one can tell the difference :)
Would you like to do the same?
Let's talk about how to get the best and most usable code from AI, whether you're already working with AI or just considering starting.
