Developer tools are scrambling to integrate AI into their products, no matter which part of the developer workflow they cater to. One example is Gradle, an open source build automation tool that has been around for fifteen years now.

I spoke with https://www.linkedin.com/in/trishagee/, the lead developer evangelist at Gradle, about how AI is impacting the developer workflow.

I asked whether there was a big impact on tools like Gradle because of the potential errors output by code generation tools like GitHub Copilot?

She compares the use of AI tools to code generation features in IDEs, which were initially met with skepticism but are now widely embraced for their ability to make developers’ jobs easier.
