AI changed software development. This is how the pros use it.
Written for working developers, Coding with AI goes beyond hype to show how AI fits into real production workflows. 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.
Curious about how fast your code runs? timeit lets you measure execution time easily.
# Benchmark sum of numbers
import timeit
execution_time = timeit.timeit('sum(range(1000))', number=10000)
print(f"Execution time: {execution_time} seconds")
