Integrating LLM Assistance into Your Development Workflow

Key Points:

• Leveraging IDE features for inline code completion and chat-based assistance.
• Establishing team conventions for using and reviewing LLM-generated code within a version control system (e.g., specific branch naming, required reviews).
• Exploring possibilities for automating boilerplate or test generation in CI/CD (emphasizing the need for rigorous validation steps afterward).
• Strategies for team collaboration when some members are using LLM tools and others are not.

• Callout (Inline Warning): “Warning: Fully automating code generation and deployment in CI/CD without human oversight is risky and not recommended for critical systems.”
• Callout (Inline Note): “Note: Consistency in how LLM tools are used and reviewed is key for team effectiveness.”
