"Reducing the cost of coding" would imply that you still have to code, but with current LLMs you no longer have to. You can write 100s of thousands of lines of code without ever having to touch a single line of code. Literally "here is a git repo, here is an issue, please fix".

You might still need to nudge the LLM in the right direction or stop it from going off weird tangents, but none of that involves touching actual code yourself.

What is coding? Pushing keys or knowing the right keys to push?

Ai can push a lot of keys very fast, but not always the right ones

if they need to be reminded to follow the coding standards, visible in the very code they are working on, what has been solved?
