AI pair programming: how to use it safely and effectively

AI pair programming is using an assistant to speed up development tasks - generating scaffolding, refactoring, writing tests, debugging, and explaining unfamiliar code. It works best when you treat the model like a fast junior teammate: helpful, but not authoritative.

Best uses

  • Boilerplate and repetitive code (forms, API wrappers, simple components).
  • Explaining code paths and proposing refactors with clear constraints.
  • Drafting tests and edge cases, then validating them against real behaviour.

Common pitfalls

  • Silent wrong assumptions (library APIs, types, security implications).
  • Overconfident “fixes” that compile but break behaviour.
  • Copying code without reviewing data handling, auth, and input validation.

The highest leverage workflow is: specify constraints, ask for a plan, review diffs, run tests, and only then merge. AI can increase velocity dramatically - as long as you keep verification in the loop.
