The Power of Artificial Intelligence Coding Assistance

Until recently, coding involved repetitive tasks, and required knowledge of many minute details. These aspects of coding detracted from the truly creative work that developers enjoy, and they slowed developers down. Now, artificial intelligence technology promises to eliminate much of that repetitive work, and developers are no longer thrown off task by having to search the web for those minute details. The technology works similarly to auto-complete in word processing but writing code instead of plain language and completing whole functions at a time. Among the latest offerings in AI-powered is Github's Copilot, an AI-powered pair programmer tool available to all developers for $10 a month or $100 per year.
