Most programming work is still text editing with various amounts of debugging, refactoring, and autocompletion.
It is not obvious to me how an AR interface would make a difference other than more virtual screen real estate. You would still need a way to enter text, build code, run tests, etc. This means a keyboard and pointing device (mouse, trackpad, etc.) are still needed unless something else can do it better.
Granted, for the same cost as the Vision Pro you could get several large, high resolution monitors and have lots of screen to work on.
