Tools like GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Tabnine, and Cody can generate functions from plain-language prompts, suggest bug fixes or improvements, and help write test cases or refactor messy code with specific prompts.
When coding effectively in 2025, prioritize clear, meaningful names for variables and functions, small single-purpose functions, and minimal but useful comments for readability.
Save time and reduce errors by setting up auto-formatting and linting tools, basic CI/CD pipelines, and development containers or Docker environments for consistent setup.
Productive coding in 2025 involves smart planning, efficient tool utilization, energy management, and continuous improvement rather than just focusing on typing speed.
