GPT 4o, Stack Overflow + OpenAI, LLMs Explained, & How EY Hires Devs 🦾

Hello developers! 👋🏻

We're back with another edition of our next-gen developer newsletter! We're here to push the latest intel about tech and AI right to your human repository. Yes, our puns are classy, and we inherit them naturally. 😎

What broke in prod last month? ✨

Is it just us or do you feel the pace of AI advancements has slowed down a bit? Don't get us wrong, the updates are still very impactful, but they've been easier to keep up with. Anyway, here are a few must-reads to get you up to speed:

↗️ OpenAI released GPT-4o, the AI-assistant from sci-fi movies!

// It can now critique how you look, laugh at your dad jokes, all while sounding straight like Scarlett Johansson from the movie Her.

Seriously, they've had to pause using one of their voices because it sounds so much like the actress. //

↗️ StackOverflow and OpenAI are now partnering to empower developers

// With StackOverflow's data and OpenAI's model, this partnership could be very helpful for developers everywhere…

Unless this meme comes true. //

↗️ A game to learn Github: Oh My Git!

// It's been out for some time, but we discovered this last month. You can learn Git version control through visualization, playing cards, and an integrated terminal. //

Here’s a cool AI tool 🤖

If there's something more daunting than reviewing someone else's code, is to write proper documentation. But as Next-Gen developers, we can put AI to the use here.

Tech terms explained - with no jargon 🤌🏼

For this edition, our AI model, Ada is explaining LLMs or Large Language Models! You've probably heard of this term so many times, but chances are, you, like most of us, don't exactly know what it means.

But don't worry, Ada is here to break it down into simple terms!
