“They help you do more of what you do…If you are a great developer, they’ll help you do more, because it’ll help you get the boilerplate out much more quickly. But if you’re a mediocre developer or just getting started out, they’re not going to make you a better one. They will just help you do more of what you’re currently doing.”
In a recent interview with TFiR, Saurabh Gupta, Director of Industry Solutions at Qarik, shares how the role of code assistants is evolving in software development. Some key aspects include:
- Evolving Capabilities and Strategic Adoption: Code assistants will become more cost effective and capable over time and developing a strategic and informed adoption process by organizations will be key for successful implementation. A one-size-fits-all approach might not be the best, and multiple specialized options might be required.
- Optimization and Cloud Integration: Use specific KPIs to measure improvements in cloud operations, such as time to root cause analysis, and cost efficiency gains.
- Risk Mitigation: It is advisable to take a risk-mitigated approach to adopting code assistants: understand the licensing and data sharing terms, and also assess solution portability.
