The writing of actual code in my experience isn't usually the most creative part of the process. It's the path leading up to the point where you actually start typing code; the translation between business goals and technical solution that requires creativity and ingenuity.

Especially in a team I can see a lot of added value from someone with a lot of experience during this proces. Documenting the outcome of that creative process is easily done with text-to-speech software.
