"For the repo was Dark and Full of Terrors - or Refactoring existing codebases with Generative AI" - Stephen Howell - Hall 1B

As developers, we now have access to incredibly powerful generative AI tools like Amazon CodeWhisperer that can help accelerate and enhance our coding. However, it's important that we as professionals use these tools thoughtfully. In this talk, I'll cover strategies for leveraging generative AI to boost productivity while still prioritizing coding best practices and fundamentals. I'll discuss different approaches for popular languages and stacks, and how to get maximum benefit from CodeWhisperer.
Together, humans and AI can collaborate to write more secure, scalable and maintainable code. Attendees will leave with actionable tips for making the most of generative AI while staying focused on producing high-quality, production-ready software.
