Ölbaum@codinghorror Unfortunately, especially if read quickly or not until the end, this perpetuates the incorrect belief that a sizeable portion of a developer’s time is spent typing, which was not as problem until it started being used to justify the use of LLMs to make developers appealed more efficient.
And even your valid example of typing faster helping with ADHD is not applicable to LLMs.
