AI Pair Programming in 2025: The Good, Bad, and Ugly
- AI pair programming is a common trend in IDEs nowadays, offering context-aware code completions and even assisting with complex architecture while bringing a mix of exciting possibilities and potential challenges.
- Some of the most significant benefits of AI pair programming include code suggestion accuracy, help in implementing entire functions based on natural language descriptions, improved code quality, reduced debugging time, repetitive coding tasks delegation to AI, and junior developers learning best practices in real-time.
- Challenges brought along by AI pair programming tools include over-reliance, the learning curve of how to interact with them, when to trust suggestions and when not to, and contextual limitations. Another challenge is the risk of reinforcing outdated practices and ethical biases present in its training data.
- Systemic implications of AI pair programming include ethical concerns surrounding code attribution, licensing, and ownership rights; a widened skill gap and barriers to entry for newcomers, and the autonomous evolution of AI agents that raises ethical and practical concerns.
- Some of the best AI coding tools for pair programming include ChatGPT, Claude, GitHub Copilot, Visual Copilot, Cursor, and Bolt. Though not flawless, these tools help write better code faster, whether debugging, building new features, or transforming designs into functional apps.
- The future of AI pair programming will not be defined by whether we use AI, but by how we use it. AI is a really smart intern—helpful when you know how to use it, but you wouldn't let it run the whole show.
- The key is to use AI to make our skills better, not do our thinking for us. The future of coding is about figuring out how we can team up with AI to build cooler stuff faster.

This week experience
- This week experience: My second week in practicing data structure problems.
- Solved three linked list related problems: Intersection of two linked lists, Remove nth node from end of list, and Reverse nodes in k-group.
- Intersection of two linked lists can be solved using two pointers to determine if they meet at a common node.
- Remove nth node from end of list can be achieved by using two pointers, fast and slow, to find the node just before the nth node.
- Reverse nodes in k-group involves creating a dummy node and iterating to find the kth node, then reversing the linked list in groups.
- Experience and practice are key in improving problem-solving skills.
