This a classic case of understanding programming as an activity that is primarily about text production. This is what Naur was arguing against in Programming As Theory Building [1].
Taking Nair's viewpoint, coding AI will be useful only to the extent that it assists programmers to build and employ their theory of the program. Or to itself develop a useful theory of a specific program, not just programs in general.
