Generative AI for coding is seeing an uptick because of advancements in NLP
Generative AI for code does not use templates, nor libraries of components
Even though code produced by genAI and LLM technologies is becoming more accurate, it can still contain flaws and should be reviewed
Anyone, literally anyone, can code in just about any language today – be it Python scripts, Java classes, COBOL assembler or RPG – The only support one needs is in the form of a Generative AI assistant.
It can help create new applications, but Generative AI can also help modernise legacy code or translate code from one programming language to another, test the code, and complete the code – it can help perform any task in the software development lifecycle, useful to developers at all levels.
