This is something we of the HN bubble take for granted. Most of us know how to type quickly and use editors and use macros and program scripting languages and compose regexes.

The vast majority of programmers do not know those things. As such, AI speeds them up tremendously.

From my experience it _seems_ to be the opposite, no?

HN skews heavily toward the SF signature vc-hype tech-driven-dev style, always chasing the new thing, sometimes to the detriment of everything else.

Even if this style of development was a clear improvement over the classic "typing things with hands" style, the rest of the world would take a while to catch on.
