At this point, if you code without the use of LLM, you are significantly slower than your peers. Arguing that that is not the case is like arguing that you can be faster than someone using a calculator.

A lot of truth there, but especially for basic arithmetic, I don't always use a calculator. I'm sure it can compute, say, "11 + 14" faster than I can, but it still takes me time to press the buttons. I reckon there will be instances where it would be just as fast, or faster, to NOT use an LLM, if the change is small.

Especially in infra work, some changes are 2h of planning and coordination with other teams that result in a 2 line change. One could argue if it's really coding, but you can also look at it as an extreme case with a whole gradient to the pure "just output code for the obvious feature" type of work. So yeah, there will always be cases where the change is smaller and faster than explaining it in the first place.
