AI pair programming is a blessing or a curse?

Follow me on Linkedin if you like provoking posts about software development. Let's socialize!

Algorithms already write code, but human developers don’t need to fear being immediately replaced

Based on research, programmers spend 35% of their time on understanding code, 5% on writing code, 10% on other coding-related activities, and 50% on other non-coding activities

Considering that only 5% of the time a developer is writing code, I don't expect AI tools to redefine the profession of a programmer any time soon.

Many people are still not sure if AI pair programming is a blessing or a curse, and that is fine, but if you care about productivity, I think you should be experimenting with one of the AI pair programming tools.
