"AI pair programming involves collaborating with an AI assistant inside your integrated development environment (IDE) as if it were a second engineer at the keyboard. It's pretty much like working with a human partner, but with machine learning models handling the other "seat." At its core, an AI pair programmer does three things well: Understands your goal: Reads your code and project context to grasp the bigger picture of what you're trying to build or fix"
"Some days, coding feels like flying. You're in the zone, every piece of code you write just clicks into place, and you realize why you fell in love with it in the first place. Other days? It's you, an endless stack of tabs, a stubborn bug, and the creeping feeling that this is going to eat up your entire day."
AI pair programming places an AI assistant inside the IDE to act as a second engineer, offering suggestions, completions, explanations, and critiques. The AI reads code and project context to understand developer goals and proposes changes from single-line completions to larger implementations. The AI can explain reasoning in plain language, help find bugs, suggest alternative approaches, and generate test cases. The AI does not make high-level architectural or security decisions; developers retain responsibility for accepting suggestions and maintaining final control over design and code quality.
