My Journey with AI in Software Development: A Call for Standardization
As a software engineer, I’ve witnessed firsthand the seismic shift AI has brought to my craft. What started as a reliance on handwritten code has evolved into a partnership with increasingly sophisticated tools, reducing my manual workload and reshaping my role. Beyond my personal experience, the broader industry is grappling with integrating AI into products, a process riddled with gaps and challenges. This journey has sparked a vision in me: to create a standardized framework that makes AI integration seamless, secure, and accessible. Here’s how it’s unfolded—and why I believe standardization is the next frontier. From 90% Handwritten Code to 20%: My AI Evolution Three years ago, I was writing 90% of my code by hand. My only companion was basic code completion—think IntelliSense or similar IDE features. It was tedious but familiar. Then GitHub Copilot entered the scene, generating code from simple comments, cutting my manual coding to 70%. It felt like a leap forward, though I still ...
