Tools and AI Assistance Questions

Effective and responsible use of developer tools and artificial intelligence assistance to improve productivity while preserving code quality. Candidates should be able to describe familiar tooling such as integrated development environments, version control, linters, static analyzers, profilers, debuggers, and continuous integration systems, and explain how they integrate AI assisted code generation or suggestion tools into a safe workflow. Topics include prompt design for scaffolding, verifying and testing generated code, avoiding overreliance, addressing security and licensing concerns, and incorporating tool outputs into code review and testing processes.
