Well, considering there are coders who type under 30 WPM and are senior level programmers I would have thought people realized that years ago.

Oh well

If it is 20% slower for you to write with AI, but you are not stressed out and enjoy it so you actually code then the AI is a win and you are more productive with it.

I think that's what is missing from the conversation. It doesn't make developers faster, nor better, but it can automate what some devs detest and feel burned out having to write and for those devs it is a big win.

If you can productively code 40 hours a week with AI and only 30 hours a week without AI then the AI doesn't have to be as good, just close to as good.
