How I Code With LLMs These Days

I first started using AI coding assistants in early 2021, with an invite code from a friend who worked on the original GitHub Copilot team. Back then, the workflow was just single-line tab completion, but you could also guide code generation with comments and it’d try its best to implement what you want. Fast forward to 2025.

And like any other application, regulatory rules, SLAs, and reliability standards still apply to GenAI. With more companies integrating GenAI into their systems and products, it’s essential to make sure GenAI workloads and applications are highly available to deliver an exceptional user experience.
