Yes, that is true by definition. What is not necessarily true is that all of that work involves writing code.

I disagree here though, and is highly dependent on what you consider to be "the right code". In my experience the people capable of writing more code faster are the people who don't necessarily take the step back and think "should this code even be written at all?".
