Reviewing other people's code and debugging unfamiliar modules is where we grow the most though.
My advice to new programmers is always "read other people's code! Do it regularly, with the goal to understand how it actually works. Step through it in the debugger!"

@StompyRobot @tojiro Not wanting to put words in Brandon's mouth, but I think the crucial part is, he's not saying he wants AI to do the second list instead of the first. AI could just not do either of them. Speaking for myself: I enjoy the same things and dislike the same things, but I will gladly continue doing the things I dislike (in part because as you say, there are positive things to be gained from doing them) but why on Earth would I want AI to do the things I enjoy the most?
