AI changed software development. This is how the pros use it.

Learn how to integrate AI into Python projects, avoid hallucinations, refactor safely, generate tests and docs, and reclaim hours of development time—using techniques tested in real-world projects.
Like you, I use Generative AI nearly every single day. One common request I get is when folks have wet their feet with ChatGPT and ask me “What else is out there?” I send them a list of links and a little blurb about the sites. I decided to share that list and insights with you.
Bookmark this page because it will be updated frequently. I’ll also do this with some other tools I use (image generation, code generation, video, etc.).
