Hands don't type as fast as machines, no matter what editor you use.

Yeah, so again the point of text editors is you shouldn't be typing all that much with them. That's why we use them. Macros. Shortcuts. Metaprogramming. Snippets. Identifier completion.

Were people actually typing out the full text of source code before LLMs? Why?
