The AI Revolution in Java Development and Devoxx Genie

An airhacks.fm conversation with Stephan Janssen (@Stephan007)
about: Stephan previously appeared on "#254 How JavaPolis and
Devoxx Happened", discussion on the AI revolution in programming,
development of an AI-assisted photo sharing application, creation
of the Devoxx Genie IntelliJ plugin for AI-augmented programming,
advantages of Claude 3.5 from Anthropic, use of local AI models in
development environments, integration of AI in Java development,
langchain4j and its adoption by Red Hat, development of Java-based
AI tools like Lama3.java, jlama and JVector, potential for
specialized AI models in software development, challenges and
opportunities for junior and senior developers in AI-augmented
programming, importance of understanding cloud services and cost
structures when using AI, potential future of prompt-based
programming and code generation, discussion on maintaining and
improving AI-generated code, exciting developments in Java for AI
including project valhalla and tornadovm, potential for running AI
models directly on Java without external dependencies,
considerations for enterprise AI adoption and integration, the need
for promoting Java's capabilities in AI development, potential for
Visual Studio Code port of Devoxx Genie, the challenge of
maintaining AI-generated code versus keeping prompts, the concept
of "prompt ops" for software development, the use of AI for code
review and improvement, the potential for AI to lower the barrier
to entry for new developers, and the exciting future of AI in
software development
