I expect that it will help with the tedious parts of programming that require you to know details about specific libraries. It will make those parts of programming that are “google → stackoverflow → find correct answer → copy-paste into code” much fater, but I expect it to struggle on truly novel stuff, on scientific programming and anything research-level. If this thing can auto-complete a new finite-element PDE solver in a way that isn’t useless, I will be both impressed and scared.
