Big Tech knows AI radically transforms productivity. With huge roadmaps of work, AI propels them faster than ever. It's noteworthy that these same companies are driving the future of AI too. They call it 'dogfooding'. Using their own tech to test and iterate. It's easy to see how exponential this is all becoming.
For me, AI for productivity is always on my mind. How can we help our clients go faster? Get more done? Offer best possible value?
Meet my assistant developer
I've been using ChatGPT 4o as my assistant developer for a while now. 'She' helps me scaffold individual components of my code. In seconds. It's amazing.
For example, if I need to integrate with an external API, I provide ChatGPT with the API specification and describe the technology stack plus some project context.
Done.
My role then shifts to cleaning up the code so it integrates nicely with the rest of my solution. This lets me move from handling individual API details to working at a higher technical level, integrating the code in a way that meets all the requirements.
It's ideal when adding new features or integrating with third-party APIs - literally days of developer time, done in hours.
'She' is fast becoming my favourite colleague.
