For me, it’s not the typing - it’s the understanding. If I’m typing code, I have a mental model already or am building one as I type, whereas if I have an LLM generate the code then it’s “somebody else’s code” and I have to take the time to understand it anyway in order to usefully review it. Given that’s the case, I find it’s often quicker for me to just key the code myself, and come away with a better intuition for how it works at the end.
