Session: Beyond Copilot: How AI is changing how we code
AI is changing the way software is built and the importance of this shift may be comparable to the transition from hand-coded assembly to high-level programming languages. What are the emerging best practices and tips for learning this new way of coding? How does it work underneath the hood? Will it make software development more open or closed?
Beyang Liu, CTO of Sourcegraph, will discuss stories and lessons learned from building Cody, the most popular open-source coding assistant. We’ll dive into the tech of making LLMs work for code, including model training, retrieval augmented generation (RAG), and integrating with that other form of artificial intelligence: compilers. We’ll end with some of the social implications of this shift and why we believe it’s important that the new ecosystem that emerges around this paradigm is founded on open technologies.
