AI Dev Tools I Use Everyday

When I’m not on stage presenting or behind a mic recording a podcast, I’m usually in VS Code building JavaScript demos that highlight Heroku’s capabilities and best practices. Backend work is my comfort zone, front-end and design aren’t, so I lean on AI to bridge those gaps.

Given a design spec (from Figma for example), I can get a frontend prototype in minutes, instead of writing HTML/CSS at hand, making the interaction with the design team straightforward. I’ve tried Gemini for ideation, and ChatGPT and Claude for debugging and refactoring code.
