In just a few short years, AI has transformed software development, and snazzy new tools continue to arrive, with no let-up in sight. How, as a software engineer, product builder, or CTO, do you keep up? This practical book is the result of Sergio Pereira’s mission to test every AI tool he could find and provide practitioners with much-needed guidance through the commotion.

Generative AI for Software Development focuses on AI tool comparisons, practical workflows, and real-world case studies, with each chapter encompassing critical evaluations of the tools, their use cases, and their limitations. While product reviews are always relevant, the book goes further and delivers to readers a coherent framework for evaluating the tools and workflows of the future, which will continue to complicate the work of software development.
