ABSTRACT
In the current era, with the rise of Agents, particularly tailored Large Language Models (LLMs) for programmers, the optimization of Human-Agent collaboration stands as a critical imperative for elevating programmer productivity. This talk delves into the complexities of attaining seamless interaction between humans and Agents, encompassing three pivotal dimensions: (1) the design of effective programming Agents, (2) the influence of gender, particularly in verbal interactions with an agent, (3) the dynamics inherent in programmer-agent collaboration. Exploring the challenges and opportunities posed by these agents for programmers and the ensuing impact on code quality, we will navigate the evolving landscape of collaborative programming paradigms with agents.
