AI Assistant as a Code Explainer

AI’s role in code explanation

Have you ever felt like you’re spending more time trying to understand code than developing it? You’re not alone. For many junior developers, especially when they first enter the industry, working collaboratively or tackling unfamiliar code can be a major challenge. In fact, trying to make sense of someone else’s code can take up a significant portion of their day—often more than half. This time-consuming process can be a significant barrier to learning and productivity. That’s where AI code explainers come in—transforming those “What’s going on here?” moments into quick “aha!” insights and speeding up the learning curve.
