Beyond Code: The Essential AI Skillsets for Development Teams
summary
Claims that AI is too primitive to replace development teams and instead autocompletes code (Sundar Pichai 25% claim); concrete uses include generating documentation, meeting summaries and ideation where assistants actually save time; tooling cited: Hugging Face Hub, GitHub (papers with code), Replicate, OpenAI/Azure/AWS, ComfyUI / Automatic1111 for image workflows; hands‑on builds include pieced‑together prototypes (a Halloween “haunted mirror” proof‑of‑concept) and emerging agentic AI that generates code and calls external tools for automation.
