> They're happy because LLMs speed that up by a lot, at least initially. Then there are people who enjoy the process and craft of writing code. For them it's hard to let go of manual coding because that's the enjoyable part of the work.

coding enjoyer here, but for me i want it to be an assistant to speed up what im doing (in the "bicycle for the mind" kind of way) or a problem solver for when i got really stuck; i feel like "agentic" workflows miss a lot of this cause its like talking to someone through slack... thats not enjoyable and also too far removed from the actual code/problem im working on; i think there is an opportunity for much better ux here...
