As an infra dude it saves me loads of time. Most of the code I write is stuff where I already know what needs to happen, I already know how the process looks un-automated, and I'm not going to learn a whole lot writing more boilerplate, or learning the names of all the endpoints for a dumb api and parsing the text.
It's still mental work. You still have to read the code over and edit stuff.
It helps me save lots of time so I can do quality things like comment on hn during work..
