It's not harder unless you write hard to read code. > “Indeed, the ratio of time spent reading versus writing is well over 10 to 1. We are constantly reading old code as part of the effort to write new code. ...[Therefore,] making it easy to read makes it easier to write.” - Robert C. Martin in Clean Code LLMs make exceptionally clean code in my opinion. They don't try to be fancy or "elegant", they just spit out basic statements that sometimes (or most of the time) do what you need. Then you _read_ what it suggests, with a skilled eye you can pretty much glance and see if it looks good and test it.
