AI NUGGETS BY YUVAL AVIDANI (YUV.AI)

Host 1: Alright everyone, welcome back. We are diving deep today, into the future of coding.
Host 2: Yeah exactly.
Host 1: And we have a really cool video to go over.
Host 2: Hmm
Host 1: Uh, by Yuval Avadani.
Host 2: Avadani.
Host 1: Who is like, uh a senior data and machine learning scientist.
Host 2: Oh, wow.
Host 1: And a technical content creator and active across like every social media platform.
Host 2: Hmm.
Host 1: Um and he's a huge fan of GitHub and GitHub next and he's got early access to something called Copilot Workspace.
Host 2: Oh, what is that?
Host 1: And uh yeah, he's the founder of yuv.ai, which is an AI community with like thousands of people in it.
Host 2: Wow. Alright.
Host 1: So I think he's kind of a big deal.
Host 2: Yeah, he seems like he knows what he's talking about.
Host 1: Yeah, and this video was pretty exciting to watch. So basically, Copilot Workspace is like, um
Host 2: Like a what?
Host 1: Well, it connects to your GitHub account, but it's not just like an extension. Okay. It like integrates deeply with it and it kind of like almost understands your repositories.
Host 2: Interesting.
Host 1: And the coolest thing is that you can use natural language.
Host 2: That's what I was gonna say.
Host 1: With it. So like, you can ask it questions about code in plain English.
Host 2: No way.
Host 1: Or you can like tell it what you wanna do next and it will like plan out the steps. And it can even do things like security research, which is pretty cool.
Host 2: Oh wow!
Host 1: I mean this is GitHub like really trying to make coding accessible and intuitive for everyone. It's like they're taking that whole AI code completion thing to like a whole other level. It's not just completing your code. It's like collaborating with you, understanding what you're trying to build.
Host 2: Totally.
Host 1: Yeah, and there's this great example in the video, where he decides to have,
Host 2: Oh, this is the
Host 1: Copilot Workspace, build him a Wheel of Fortune game.
Host 2: Wheel of Fortune, yeah.
Host 1: And he like chooses to have it generate both the plan and the code.
Host 2: Wow.
Host 1: Just to see how it works.
Host 2: Bold move.
Host 1: Yeah. And it was crazy like it spits out this whole plan. Okay. All these steps for like the README and then like HTML files and CSS files and JavaScript files.
Host 2: Sound like a full web app, basically.
Host 1: Yeah. For a Wheel of Fortune game. And then he even has it write like a description for the repository.
Host 2: So, this thing is basically like an AI coding assistant.
Host 1: Yeah, an AI coding assistant. That's, that's really interesting.
Host 1: Yeah, and it all happens so fast.
Host 2: I mean, think about that, like how much time that could save developers? Like imagine how much faster you could get projects up and running. And for beginners, like that could be huge.
Host 1: Hmm.
Host 2: I mean, this could be what finally makes coding like truly accessible to everyone.
Host 1: Oh, for sure.
Host 2: But it also makes you think, like where does the developer fit in all of this?
Host 1: Right.
Host 2: Like, if AI is handling all the basic stuff, are we just gonna become like high level architects or something? Like, is this the end of like needing to know how to actually code?
Host 1: Yeah, what if we get too reliant on these tools and we lose those core coding skills?
Host 2: That's a good question and a little scary, honestly.
Host 1: Yeah, for sure. But then, Yuval also shows how Copilot Workspace can help with security too.
Host 2: Oh
Host 1: Like he just asks it to do a security research for this repo.
Host 2: I'd love that.
Host 1: And boom, it like instantly finds all these potential vulnerabilities.
Host 2: Wow!
Host 1: Like it pointed out places where there might be like missing input validation.
Host 2: Oh, that's important.
Host 1: Yeah, that's like where the code isn't checking if the user is entering the right kind of data so that it could be vulnerable to attacks.
Host 2: Right.
Host 1: And it found other stuff too, like contact security issues.
Host 2: That's incredible.
Host 1: It's like having a security expert, right there in your IDE.
Host 2: I mean, proactive security analysis is so important these days. Yeah. Especially with software getting more and more complex.
Host 1: Right.
Host 2: Having a tool that can catch these vulnerabilities early on, oh yeah, could prevent some really bad stuff from happening.
Host 1: Yeah, for sure. But it is important to remember, no security tool is perfect.
Host 2: That's true.
Host 1: Like, we still need human oversight.
Host 2: Yeah, always.
Host 1: But this is still super impressive.
Host 1: Yeah, by the end of the video Yuval's like, so pumped.
Host 2: Rightfully so.
Host 1: He's like telling everyone to join the wait list.
Host 2: I mean, I get it.
Host 1: Yeah, after seeing it in action it's like, it's hard not to be excited.
Host 2: It feels like we're on the cusp of something really big. This could really change the way we code.
Host 1: Yeah, for sure. Like the future of coding is happening right now.
Host 2: So, we've seen how Yuval used Copilot Workspace to build a game.
Host 1: Right.
Host 2: And find security flaws.
Host 1: Yeah.
Host 2: But what about you?
Host 1: Yeah. Like, how do you think this could change your workflow?
Host 2: Hmm. What possibilities do you see?
Host 1: There's so many. Are you ready for an AI coding partner?
Host 2: I think I might be.
Host 1: Alright, well that's all we have time for today.
Host 2: Thanks for listening everyone.
Host 1: We will see all of you next time.
Host 2: See ya.
Host 1: Bye.
