Yes :) The time saved should not be used to squeeze in more "code done".
On my side I've saved lots of time by simplifying the tools I used, reducing the number of dependencies, frameworks and other stuff and writing simple, "childish" code.
I'm a web developer. I prefer to do simple Ajax, HTML, pure JS and simple CSS and a good framework such as Laravel. For 80% of the projects its enough to "do the job". If the client wants a "nice looking date picker" just go for the default HTML one, saves hours/days and the difference is minimal.
I've stopped looking for "new shiny" tools. In the end people are just looking for simple stuff that works.
Look at Hacker News for example. Minimalist. But "the job is done".
