Book Review: Supercharged Coding with GenAI: From vibe coding to best practices using GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, and OpenAI

 

Generative AI is no longer just a buzzword—it’s becoming a core tool for modern developers. From writing code faster to improving debugging and testing, AI is reshaping the entire software development lifecycle (SDLC). One book that captures this shift brilliantly is Supercharged Coding with GenAI: From Vibe Coding to Best Practices using GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, and OpenAI.

Unlock the Power of GenAI in Python Development

This book promises more than just coding shortcuts. It teaches you how to unlock the power of generative AI in Python development and enhance your coding speed, quality, and efficiency with real-world examples and hands-on strategies.

Key Features You’ll Love:

• Discover how GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, and the OpenAI API can supercharge your productivity

• Push beyond the basics with advanced techniques across the entire SDLC

• Master best practices for producing clean, high-quality code—even for complex tasks

• Includes both print/Kindle and a free PDF eBook

Book Description

The authors—an ML advisor with a strong tech social media presence and a Harvard-level AI expert—combine industry insights with academic rigor to create a practical yet forward-looking guide.

The book provides a deep dive into large language models (LLMs) and shows how to systematically solve complex tasks with AI. From few-shot learning to Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting, you’ll learn how to get more accurate, structured, and reusable outputs from GenAI tools.

What I found especially powerful is how it goes beyond simple code generation. You’ll learn to:

• Automate debugging, refactoring, and performance optimization

• Apply AI-driven workflows for testing and monitoring

• Use prompt frameworks to streamline your SDLC

• Choose the right AI tool for each coding challenge

By the end, you’ll not only write better code—you’ll anticipate your next moves, making AI a true coding partner.
