In a recent podcast, GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke emphasized the importance of AI coding tools enhancing developer productivity. He argues that successful tools should enable developers to easily edit AI-generated code locally without excessive delays. The lack of direct control can hinder productivity, as developers shouldn't waste time providing feedback to the AI instead of making quick changes themselves. Dohmke believes the ability to switch between AI assistance and manual coding will be crucial for success in the evolving software landscape.
"Being able to pick the agent that provides the best ROI or do it themselves is vital... enabling developers to move between those categories is key for winning in the next few years."
"The key for winning is to have a continuum where you can have an agent write code for you and submit a pull request, but then if you want to make changes… you've got to be able to take that onto a local machine."
