A Week in the Life of a Busy Developer – 2021 vs. 2022 vs. 2023

At meetingdeadlines.io, a software developer's journey over three years highlights the evolving role of AI tools in software development. Initially, the developer faced challenges with undefined product requirements and limited testing, leading to low confidence in their code's reliability. In 2022, the introduction of GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT improved research efficiency and coding speed but highlighted the need for more thorough testing, as automatically generated tests were often inadequate. By 2023, with the addition of qodo (formerly Codium), the developer's workflow became more efficient and reliable, with meaningful tests automatically generated, leading to higher confidence in the code's quality. Throughout this period, the developer's involvement in product definition processes and the strategic use of AI tools significantly enhanced productivity and code quality.
