HOW GOOGLE'S DEV TOOLS MANAGER MAKES AI CODING WORK

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Ryan Salva, Google's project manager for developer tools, is responsible for tools like Gemini CLI and Gemini Code Assist. His team recently released new third-party research that showed how developers actually use AI tools. This article contains an edited interview with Salva where he talks about the research, how he uses AI tools, and the future of IDEs. Salva believes that over time, the time spent in the IDE will gradually shrink, and the job of the developer will start looking more like an architect.
