Yeah it’s way faster ime. Like a lot a lot, but there again I enjoy the slightly bigger picture (not too big though) so maybe I just cut syntax slow

typing speed was never my strong suit, I also was heavily into readable formatting which I often did by hand in a mixed team. so I'm not one of these stays-in-vim people that can pop out reams of code. in this way I appreciate the manual lift an LLM gives me.

I will never be able to type out a large feature at even 1/100th of the speed of today's frontier LLMs -- even if I literally had a complete plan of every line of syntax I'd use.

now, the correctness of said feature is still up for debate, but we cannot argue that the thing came into existence faster than human hands could have wrought.
