alt Hacker NewsI write code. On a good day perhaps 800-1000 "hand written" lines.
I have never actually thought about how much typing time this actually is. Perhaps an hour? In that case 7/8th of my day are filled with other stuff. Like analysis, planning, gathering requirements, talking to people.
So even if an AI removed almost all the time I spend typing away: This is only a 10% improvement in speed. Even if you ignore that I still have to review the code, understand everything and correct possible problems.
A bigger speedup is only possible if you decide not to understand everything the AI does and just trust it to do the right thing.
Maybe you code so fast that the thought-to-code transition is not a bottleneck for you. In which case, awesome for you. I suspect this makes you a significant outlier since respected and productive engineers like Antirez seem to find benefits.
