Hello friends,
Thanks again for signing up for my newsletter.
Today I’ll talk about 4 things:
Which AI Tool Is Right For You? ChatGPT vs. Tabnine vs. GitHub Copilot
Alright, pals, being a coder today isn't just about hammering out lines of code. It's diving into cool AI tools like ChatGPT, Tabnine, and GitHub Copilot, and riding the wave of the latest tech trends. It's less about the race to the finish line on projects, and more about enjoying the coding journey, making our developer life smoother and fun!
This is all about how smoothly and efficiently we can work, get into that ‘zone’, and make a real impact in software engineering.
In a previous blog post, I discussed 'GitHub Copilot vs. Tabnine.' Now, let's further explore the realm of coding assistants in our ongoing learning journey about AI tools for developers, introducing a new player, ChatGPT.
In the vast sea of AI coding tools, picking the right one for your coding journey is crucial. Learning builds on what we know, flowing naturally. Yet, the big question pops up: 'What makes this tool special?' To answer that, you need a benchmark, something that lets you say, 'It's like X, but stands out because of Y.'

What is Technical Writing and How to Become a Technical Writer
A blog is a handy tool for you and others in the tech world. It lets you share what you know with fellow developers. Technical writing is about making hard topics easy to understand. And guess what? The more you write, the better you understand the topic, and the more you show off your tech skills.
The cool part about technical writing? It opens doors for you - think remote jobs, freelance gigs, or guest posts on big tech sites. Plus, it builds your developer brand, which is a win for your developer career. And hey, your own blogs can be a go-to resource when you need a refresher on certain topics.

Exploring the Power of CodiumAI and Unveiling its 6 Multifaceted Use Cases
AI is changing the game by simplifying tasks and boosting efficiency. For developers, keeping code top-notch is crucial. It's not just about working code, but code that lasts. Writing tests to catch all bugs is a chore. With the fast pace in dev teams, there’s hardly time for this manual labour. That’s why an AI buddy, who can spot patterns and suggest code fixes on the fly, is a game-changer. It’s like having an extra pair of sharp eyes on your code.
Times have changed in the world of software development. We've all talked about the importance of writing unit tests in software development for over a decade.
However, let's face it, most developers love the idea of unit tests until it's time to actually write them. Most developers often say, "We don't have time to write a unit test, let's circle back in the next sprint" I completely understand.
Writing additional code can be a bit of a chore. It demands time, attention, and upkeep. Then, a new era of AI tools emerged, transforming the way I approach coding faster than a chameleon navigating a vibrant candy store.
CodiumAI is a booster for dev teams, making unit testing a breeze and offering smart code tips. It's like having a savvy friend looking over your code, helping you keep it solid without breaking a sweat.

Why you should write?
Writing well is an elevator to your engineering career success because smart people read, and smart and successful people read the most and Writing online is the great equalizer. Doesn’t matter who you are, where you live, how much money you have, or what you do for work. Anybody can publish their ideas online, for free, and get their ideas out there.
Great writing is an expression—The words you choose.
The stories you tell.
The rhythm of your sentences.
How you say it is as important as what you say, and don’t get fooled into thinking otherwise.
Writing is a magnet— developers spend hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars going to conferences and networking events. By writing, you can spark new connections from your home. Sharing ideas on the Internet is like having a personal AI agent who works for you 24/7. And A huge benefit of writing online is having an army of “blogs” who promote you, for free.
It’s true: Long-form writing will make you a better thinker and a smarter developer.
Easiest a software engineer can start sharing their work on the internet and writing is one the best ways to get started it will pay off well in lots of things not only money. I personally met many more talented people than in offline work! And you build networking across the world with tons of opportunities!
If your work isn't online, it doesn't exist because in order for out-of-the-box opportunities and networking to occur, you must write and be seen—really seen on the internet.
Writing helps me in many ways and opens up more opportunities! Having my work online is like having a personal recruiter looking for chances for me 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 30 days a month, 365 days a year! Start a blog!
On my blog, you’ve got a complete master class on, just filter on “Start a Blog“ and start reading How to Start a Blog.
