Input speed is basically never an issue for development work, as long as you have basic proficiency ...
Though this dipshit might be right that his coworkers who don't go all-in on LLM bullshit might get "automated" away, most managers literally don't care about the quality of their product, and most ethical issues are probably a bonus instead of a detriment to them.
Except that you’re not entering code. You’re not even mapping out algorithms or data structures or reasoning about tradeoffs, as that’s for dirty-handed peasants. You’re constantly supervising and arguing with an army of industrious yet dim-witted sorcerers’ apprentices. Your voice is a lump hammer that you’re trying to hammer a large structure you’re above needing to understand into the shape it’s meant to be in, with each blow moving a lump randomly, and your mental capacity is fully occupied with forming and refining folk theories about how the mechanised idiots you command actually think.
