LLMs are way, way faster at typing code than I am. I often dictate to them exactly what I need and it saves me a bunch of time.

So you would say typing speed matters?

Yes. Here's a neat essay that helps capture why I believe that. https://www.scattered-thoughts.net/writing/speed-matters/

Sometimes it does. If typing slows you down enough to take you out of the zone then it probably does.

and, for tasks that take the LLM a minute, you can grab some coffee while it works and come back just to review. It's a great feeling.
