Turns out the bottleneck of engineering isn't related to what goes on in the editor.

I agree with your comment to certain degree, specially in a commercial enterprise environment, but programming is still very time consuming and if a new invention made us faster it would be something noticeable, no?

  • Just speaking from my experience, here; when I sit down to code, actually typing out the logic of what I want is not what I spend my time doing. I research optimization options, I prep old code for new features and refactor cruft. I have an AI-enabled editor, but besides generating boilerplate the AI-based features are mostly useless. My job doesn't rely on endlessly generating buggy code, it depends on the existence of endless buggy code that needs correcting.
