The AI Coding Assistant Wars

Perhaps it started with the PC wars where different hardware platforms, CPU architectures, and companies battled it out for the best home computer. Around the same time, we had the Operating System wars with MS-DOS, PC-DOS, DR-DOS, Linux, and Apple OS. As the Web emerged, we moved toward the first browser wars with Mosaic, early versions of Internet Explorer, and the once dominant Netscape Navigator. That led to the Smart Phone wars between Apple, Google, Microsoft and a few others. Somewhere in the mix, FireFox started the second browser war with Chrome, Safari, IE (and now Edge) with several other popular browsers. It was all confusing, frustrating, and fun at the same time. In this spirit, this presentation proposes a new war - The AI Coding Assistant Wars. Joe will cover a few prominent AI coding assistants and compare pros and cons. The whole session will be fun, perhaps interactive, and hopefully informative enough to stimulate your imagination as to how these amazing new AI Coding Assistants can work for you.
