AGI, ASI. Cool words, huh. Really popular on X. Well, it isn’t really needed in order to make everyone in this room obsolete. Have you tried out v0 from Vercel? Well, we have. And its fucking great. We have also tried out the new code-for-you feature from Github Copilot. We have used both Claude and GPT to make our code. As a Software Developer, I am proud to say, that the number of lines of code I have myself written in this project is maybe about 5% of the lines of code that have been written in total.

For how this integrates into Visual Studio Code, make sure to see the right pane from my code editor:

I have some more examples of this right here, but sadly for me I can’t find all of them because this VSCode-plugin isn’t as powerful as other options.

When coding outside of my main job (we have policies and boring stuff like that) I opt for another IDE called Cursor.

When I first tried this editor built as AI-native I can honestly say that my productivity had a 2-3x increase as an average across tasks I know how to do and tasks I don’t know how to do. It’s usefulness is maybe highest when trying to create something that you understand at a conceptual level, but maybe there are some API’s you aren’t familiar with the syntax of.

I made a stripe integration in about two hours. I know I would’ve spent at least four in the documentation alone if I did this without cursor.

Make sure you embrace these new tools, or you’ll be dead before current 1st year uni students get their first internship.
