AI coding assistants can write a Slurm script in seconds or explain cryptic code at a glance, and they can just as confidently produce code that looks right but isn’t.

In this session, we get you started: we show you how to set up VS Code with an AI assistant, try out a few simple everyday tasks, and point out the pitfalls you should watch for from day one.

What you’ll take away

• How to set up VS Code with AI assistance, ready to use for your own code
• First hands-on experience with simple tasks such as explaining, completing, and fixing code
• The most important warning signs: invented functions, subtle bugs, and what never to share with an AI tool
