Explore the transformative impact of Large Language Models (LLMs) on software development in this 43-minute conference talk from the Eclipse Foundation. Gain insights into integrating AI technologies within Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) for enhanced productivity, understanding both their potential and limitations. Learn how Couchbase improved developer experience through VSCode Extensions and AI integration, with practical demonstrations of database functionalities within the IDE. Discover the evolution of developer tools through five key segments: IDE tool optimization, the rise of AI assistants like Github Copilot and Jetbrains AI, workflow enhancement through extensions for Git, Docker, and databases, practical implementation of database extensions in VSCode, and innovative AI methodologies including Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). While no prior experience is required, basic familiarity with VSCode, databases, and LLMs like ChatGPT or Copilot will enhance understanding of the content.
