Ask The Programmer Episode 255 - Guest Brian Magrogan Shares AI Tools and Uses for AV Programmers

You know, I think the thing to be careful about there is, right, somebody who, if we tie it back to programming, a junior level programmer, right, who has experience

six months experience or a year experience, all of a sudden their AI generated resume looks like they've been a developer for six years, you know, who's done every sort of integration that possible.

And I mean, you get in and hopefully you've got a good interview with them, you get to cover, you know, get a code sample for them to potentially do an actual coding interview, like, oh,

I think that's where you got to be careful about it.

You want to help sell yourself, but you don't want to really oversell yourself.

Yeah, that's a great example, James.

We learn, most of us, by doing.

Ask the Programmer
Ask The Programmer Episode 255 - Guest Brian Magrogan Shares AI Tools and Uses for AV Programmers

We learn by making mistakes and correcting them.

I, that's part of the thing I love about the AV industry is the fact that we are still this kind of hybrid of hands-on while still coding, right?

Like I have a touch panel here and I push a button and I physically see something happen up here.

Ask the Programmer
Ask The Programmer Episode 255 - Guest Brian Magrogan Shares AI Tools and Uses for AV Programmers

It is not, I clicked this and behind the scenes, some email went off.

Ask the Programmer

Like I physically see things happening, relays clicking, TVs turning on and off, sources changing, you know, going out to the internet and scraping some data and bringing it back to the touchscreen.

Ask the Programmer

So I love that piece about our industry and the way that we are this hybrid.

Ask the Programmer
Ask The Programmer Episode 255 - Guest Brian Magrogan Shares AI Tools and Uses for AV Programmers

And it allows me, because my formal degree is in computer engineering, but I like the software side, but I love to actually work with hardware too, to work with the interface.

Ask the Programmer
Ask The Programmer Episode 255 - Guest Brian Magrogan Shares AI Tools and Uses for AV Programmers

And I love that about our industry, those pieces of it.

Ask the Programmer

I think I might've seen a couple too many resident evil movies and, you know, the Martian and stuff to, to scare me a little bit on that one.

Ask the Programmer
Ask The Programmer Episode 255 - Guest Brian Magrogan Shares AI Tools and Uses for AV Programmers

hopefully that was fixed yeah hopefully i hadn't i hadn't thought about that because you know like i've definitely thrown in some different things and like keywords and apis or stuff have set off like oh i can't help you with this or i can't i can't do that but i hadn't thought necessarily about like how you work around that and that actually kind of

Ask the Programmer
Ask The Programmer Episode 255 - Guest Brian Magrogan Shares AI Tools and Uses for AV Programmers

But very interesting, very, very interesting.

Ask the Programmer
Ask The Programmer Episode 255 - Guest Brian Magrogan Shares AI Tools and Uses for AV Programmers

So I think that, you know, kind of ties back to and and opens the door a little bit more to, you know, a bit of a, you know, trust in one another in that.

Ask the Programmer
Ask The Programmer Episode 255 - Guest Brian Magrogan Shares AI Tools and Uses for AV Programmers

And then also a bit of moral obligation there, too, of making sure that we're using the tools appropriately, right, making sure that we're not misusing them.
