Over the past year, we've seen a huge shift in software development thanks to Large Language Models (LLMs). We're all trying to figure out how to integrate these technologies into our IDEs to boost productivity even more. In this talk, we'll dive into the available options, what's good, what's not so great, and what can still be improved. We'll discuss the limitations of these extensions and share predictions on how AI will continue to evolve in the IDE space.    We'll also share how we've made the developer experience at Couchbase much better by integrating our database with code using VSCode Extensions. Additionally, we'll talk about our experiments with AI and how they've made things even smoother. You'll leave with practical tips and tricks to get the most out of these tools, along with steps to start leveraging them in your own projects.    Further session details:  The session will consist of: 1. The Power of Tools in IDE - Discuss how different tools boost productivity for various tasks 2. Emergence of AI Tools - Explore how different tools like Github Copilot, Jetbrains AI, Cody and others assist programmers. 3. Enhancing the Developer Experience - Explore how various extensions can simplify the utilization of essential tools in programming. For example, extensions for Git, Docker, and Databases can streamline the developer workflow. 4. Couchbase DB in a VSCode Extension -  Demonstrate how a Database extension allows developers to focus on coding, with all necessary database functionalities conveniently located within the IDE. 5. Experiments with AI - Discuss innovative methodologies like Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to enhance the intelligence of Language Models (LLMs).Over the past year, we've seen a huge shift in software development thanks to Large Language Models (LLMs).
