It is never just inputing text into an editor. When I write a piece of code, it is just the first draft of what I have in mind. Most of the time I change the code interactively until I'm satisfied. The act of writing the code myself helps in clarifying my ideas.

Are you saying that that is no longer fun with LLMs?

[AlexeyBrin]

Fun or not fun it is a personal perspective. What I was saying was that when you write code you also think deeply about what you actually write and you have the opportunity to optimize, change ideas and overall improve. A programming language is more precise and succinct than natural language in expressing algorithms/ideas.
