Increase Developer Productivity With Generative AI: Tips From Leading Software Engineers

I interviewed software engineers from several different disciplines to learn how they use generative AI in their everyday work.

Toptal (opens in a new tab) is a global freelancing platform that connects businesses with software engineers, designers, finance experts, product managers, and project managers.

In 2024, I worked with the company's content marketing team to (ghost)write, edit, and publish technical articles for the engineering blog. This involved close collaboration with subject matter experts from the talent platform as well as the editorial, SEO, and graphic design teams.

One of the most interesting projects I worked on was an article called Increase Developer Productivity With Generative AI (opens in a new tab). For this piece, I interviewed three different software engineers from different niches to learn about how they use LLMs and generative AI in their daily work. I believe the final result is quite insightful and actionable, offering a realistic assessment of what these kinds of tasks these tools can be useful for when writing code.
