typing would not make top-100 list of “limiting factors” for serious development.
- lomase 11mo agoIt is if for AI users who can't type code.
- bdangubic 11mo agoI am a heavy AI user and have been typing code for 3 decades :)
- lomase 11mo agoDo you feel called out?
- bdangubic 11mo agonot at all, can’t feel called out by people who don’t have a clue what they are talking about :)
- MangoToupe 11mo agoOk, if you have such insight into development, why not leverage agents to type for you? What sort of problems have you faced that you are able to code against faster than you can articulate to an agent? I have of course found some problems like this myself. But it's such a tiny portion of coding I really question why you can't leverage LLMs to make yourself more productive
- MangoToupe 11mo agoMost coding is better done with agents than with your hands. Coding is the main financial impediment to development. Yes, actually articulating what you want is the hard problem. Yes, there are technical problems that demand real analytical insight and real motivation. But refusing to use agents because you think you can type faster is mistaking typing for your actual skill: reasoning and interpretation.
