In an interview: Paul, software developer at ASTRUM IT<\/p><\/div>\n

Question: How has your daily routine as a programmer changed since AI tools like GitHub Copilot or ChatGPT have become part of your workflow?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Paul:<\/strong> My daily work as a programmer has changed significantly thanks to AI tools like GitHub Copilot. I\u2019m able to come up with initial working solutions more quickly and find it easier to get started with new topics. At the same time, using these tools constantly exposes me to new concepts that go beyond AI. It\u2019s now also part of my routine to continuously optimize my workflow and integrate new features of AI tools in a meaningful way.<\/p>\n

Question: In your opinion, which skills will be more important for developers in the future: traditional programming knowledge or proficiency with AI tools?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Paul:<\/strong> Traditional programming knowledge will remain essential in the future as well, since it goes far beyond simply writing code. I think using AI tools will become easier and easier, and soon won\u2019t be any more challenging than doing research online. Nevertheless, a solid foundation in programming remains indispensable.<\/p>\n

Question: How do you handle issues like code quality and accountability when AI suggests or automatically generates code?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Paul:<\/strong> When using AI-generated code, it\u2019s tempting to rely on suggestions that work without scrutinizing them in detail. That\u2019s why thorough code reviews, where you explain your own code line by line, are particularly important. Responsibility for code quality always remains with the developer, regardless of which tools were used.<\/p>\n

Question: Do you see AI more as a support tool or as potential competition for developers?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Paul:<\/strong> I currently see AI primarily as a support tool for developers. While AI tools can already handle many tasks, they often reach their limits when it comes to complex requirements or integration into existing systems. In-depth human expertise is still required here. The industry is undergoing a transformation, and I believe that the scope of developers\u2019 work will change significantly in the future. Whether AI is perceived as support or competition is ultimately a personal matter.<\/p>\n

Question: What advice would you give to young programmers entering an industry today that is rapidly changing due to AI?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Paul:<\/strong> My advice to young programmers is to first build a solid foundation of knowledge without relying on AI tools. This will make it easier to understand and evaluate code later on. AI can help identify and fill gaps in understanding, but it shouldn\u2019t be used as an autopilot. It\u2019s important to analyze errors in the code and understand the underlying reasons.<\/p>\n

Question: How does ASTRUM IT specifically use AI in software development, and what experiences have you gained so far?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Paul:<\/strong> At ASTRUM IT, the use of AI depends heavily on the specific development team. Applications range from simple questions about frameworks and writing unit tests to specialized, specification-driven development in smaller projects.<\/p>\n

Question: Is there an AI tool or technology that you would particularly recommend to other developers, and why?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Paul:<\/strong> We\u2019re currently using GitHub Copilot, and I recommend taking full advantage of this tool\u2019s wide range of features. When used correctly, Copilot can significantly speed up work and make the use of premium models more efficient.<\/p>\n

Thank you very much for the interview, Paul!<\/strong><\/p>\n

AI is no longer just a trend; it has become an integral part of modern software development. However, developers\u2019 sense of responsibility remains crucial, because intelligent tools do not replace a deep understanding\u2014they enhance it.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":4388,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[120],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4526","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blogbeitrag-interview-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.astrum-it.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4526","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.astrum-it.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.astrum-it.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.astrum-it.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.astrum-it.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4526"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.astrum-it.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4526\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4528,"href":"https:\/\/www.astrum-it.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4526\/revisions\/4528"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.astrum-it.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4388"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.astrum-it.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4526"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.astrum-it.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4526"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.astrum-it.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4526"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
