Different experiences, I guess. I’m a low end, part-time hobbyist programmer, and for me at least 75% of my time is spent essentially typing in obvious, easily-checked code. It has been a game changer for me. It’s also led me to write better comments, because rather than being a pure tax, they improve the generated code.

I can see how someone who’s always working on sophisticated, mentally challenging code would get less benefit and would see more frequent errors.
