Episode 36 - Why and how to use AI to become a better developer
About this episode
Many developers avoid using AI in their day-to-day simply because they don't know how to use it. Maybe you're one of them?
If reading AI automatically takes you to Copilot then you need to listen/watch to this episode.
In this episode I cover 4 different ways in which AI can help you be a more efficient developer, and 2 of those are what I call BBTs (Big Boring Tasks) that are made a lot simpler thanks to AI.
