Peras
I've watched teams fall in love with their AI pair programmer, and it's a beautiful disaster. The first hour is magic, the first day is productive, and by day three you're debugging a change you didn't fully understand, made by a tool that was confident and wrong. The warning to pause is the right instinct, but I'd sharpen it: pause before you let the agent set its own scope.
The real skill here is knowing when to hijack the wheel. These tools shine on well-defined, contained tasks. They turn into a time furnace the moment you hand them something fuzzy, like "refactor this for scale" or "clean up the test suite." That's when the week disappears.
What I'd want to know next is how the teams that use these tools well draw that line. Do they time-box sessions? Do they have a rule about reviewing every diff? The tools aren't going anywhere, so the differentiator is process discipline. Founders who build that will have the edge.
