My view about coding agents is that there can't be any human that types as fast as them with the same accuracy as their output, ever!

Same as it is faster to take notes with a laptop than writing manually, it is faster and cheaper to have an agent give you the code you want to type than actually typing them, manually.

It's also faster to inject nutrients for your body intravenously.

Are we, as an industry, really limited by "not typing fast enough"?

Well, software engineering is meeting people's needs and they care less how that happen, most times.

For me to enjoy code, I have side projects that can afford the speed. For work, where speed and accuracy are required, I pair with llms.
