So yes, the developer is involved with the tooling and helping the customers select the services.” Once the partnership between man and machine is established, the AI steps in and says, ‘Okay, I want to transform this portion of code. The developer may still need to perform some minor editing of the code that the AI provides, Loomis explains. “It might be 80 or 90 percent of what they need, but it still requires a couple of changes. It’s a productivity enhancement—not a developer replacement type of activity.”
