Really? I always thought that was the best part of programming. And now that I can direct an LLM to identify a specific pattern and rework it in a certain way, or to extract a function for a specific purpose and then use it where possible (with my review, of course), so much the better.

I agree with you about the joy of writing things directly, overall. But being able to get a few hundred lines of new approximately-what-I-wanted-to-type code (which I generally can read and fix much faster than I would have written it from scratch) definitely improves the experience, when my brain is racing ahead of my fingers. Certainly it gets me more motivated to actually start on a new feature. Similarly for all the not-exactly-exact find-and-replace tasks.

(I'm not a slow typist, but I slow myself down when I write the code, by thinking too much about details that won't be important until after the tests run.)
