I think that is the exact friction with the original post title. For an experienced coder, writing code is never the problem. Some tasks are more raw writing effort then others, sure. The problem is understanding the problem, the task, the constraints and how to express them correctly, in a way that suits your environment (i.e. company, ecosystem, platform). My brain is the actual problem, how fast I can digest information and make sense of it. For me, this is the process that always consumes the most time. Last week I've wasted a full day, just because I didn't had a decent overview of what I was working on. It was heavily LLM chatbot assisted, at no point in time the LLM nudged me into the right direction, mainly because I was confidently asking the wrong questions. No AI will help you if you insist being dumb, but it will accelerate you in that regard. That at least works for me.
