Coding with AI

After over 3 years waiting out the apocalypse in our underground bunker, the OCJUG returns!

This month, Vivek Haldar will be talking about the hottest topic around: how to harness Skynet to build your next application. OK, less Skynet, more GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, and similar, but still very cool. Let’s all get together in person (!) and see how Lazy we can get as programmers.

Much thanks to Google for sponsoring us.

Schedule:

6:30 Networking
7:00 Announcements, talk, Q&A
8:30 Leave for dinner, drinks, and more discussion

We’ll have dinner just down the street at Tokyo Table in the Diamond Jamboree shopping center: https://goo.gl/maps/GfbkReHyQULYJEZr8

Abstract:
We’ve all seen how ChatGPT and GitHub Copilot can generate code and help programmers. In this talk, we will take a look back at some of the history of programming language tooling and then forward at some cutting-edge research in large language models to prognosticate about what the act of programming might look like in the coming years.
