How fast you can get code into an editor is never a bottleneck or a drag on productivity. Kubernetes is the biggest go codebase that I know of and is 1.04 million lines of Go code (even included all automatically generated code). Conservatively assuming each line is 20 words (it is likely way way lower but lets use that as an upper bound) and you are typing everything with no copy/paste or autocomplete allowed and you are typing at 50 words per minute- a team of 10 developers could write all of Kubernetes Go codebase in a little over 3 months of writing code for 4 hrs a day 5 days a week if getting code into the editor was the only or even a major impact on productivity.
