Writing code never has been and never will be the bottleneck.

YES! I recently completed two code-heavy projects at work. My bosses kept asking me if I could use more AI to get the project done faster… -- and I kept telling them no! The bottleneck wasn’t my typing speed. The bottleneck was me _thinking through the design, thinking about edge cases, running experiments to validate hypothesis, testing out different API designs.

Typing out the code took like 1 day out of the 2 weeks. Code generation is not the bottleneck.
