Copilot Training and Documentation Effectiveness in Organizations
By
–
Did your company spend any time teaching people how to use it effectively? (If they did I'd love to hear details – training and documentation on Copilot is incredibly rare in my experience – which is bad because the tool is very unintuitive to use well)

AI as Learning Tool, Not Job Shortcut for Programming
By
–
Yeah, anyone who's telling people they can get a job low without actually learning to program is doing nobody any favors It's a learning accelerant tool, not a replacement for learning

AI Tools Boost Developer Performance Despite Beginner Learning Concerns
By
–
I'm seeing the opposite: high performing developers who I respect adding these tools to their workflow and gaining performance as a result What have you learned that makes you think they are bad for beginners?
-
AI Makes Programming Learning Curve Less Steep and Accessible
By
–
I've seen many people give up on learning to program entirely because that struggle is so miserable – I'm excited that we have a learning curve that's less of an impenetrable cliff now

ChatGPT State Leaking: File Upload Security Vulnerability Across Sessions
By
–
Yeah, state leaking is definitely starting to show up with some of these tools A nasty one is that files you upload to ChatGPT are available across multiple sessions where you might expect a blank slate, and I think that exposes them to conversations with GPTs too (unless fixed)

Discussion on the state of AI models and development tools
By
–
Loads of new model releases but not many actual features & products lately. Should I cover more tools for AI development in the meantime? If yes, which tools are you using? Anyway, I have a Business trip to do next week. Gonna have some time to plan it better.

HTTP Libraries vs Custom Request Logic for Developers
By
–
Yeah I should probably take that option more seriously myself – I tend to be happiest writing my own HTTP request calling logic, but if they satisfy developers who prefer a library I should spend time properly figuring them out
-
API Providers Must Ship Client Libraries for Control
By
–
On a related strategic note though: API providers do need to ship client libraries, because if you don't someone else will – and then you could end up in a situation where lots of people are using a client library that you can't release new versions of when you have API updates

Python Library Complexity for Direct HTTP Calls to Gemini
By
–
I know Python really well and I still don't like to have to reverse engineer their Python libraries to figure out how to make a direct HTTP call! I had to do that for Gemini just last week
