The world of software engineering has changed forever. In only a couple of years, generative AI has gone from a fun experiment to a vital tool for modern software developers. And while AI won't replace developers any time soon, devs who can effectively use AI tools will be far happier, more productive and in demand. So let's get productive!

We'll start by exploring how generative AI tools work under the hood, using GitHub Copilot as an example. We'll talk about prompt engineering in the context of writing code, and how you can get the best results to speed up your work. We'll also explore where these tools tend to fail, and what they excel at. You might be surprised by what they can do if used properly!
