People seem to think that the development speed of any larger and more complex software depends on the speed the wizards vsn type in code.

Spoiler: This is not the case. Even if a project is a mere 50000 lines long, one is the solo developer, and one has a pretty good or even expert domain knowledge, one spends the mayor part of the time thinking, perhaps looking up documentation, or talking with people, and the key on the keyboard which is most used doesn't need a Dvorak layout, bevause it is the "delete" key. In fact, you don't need yo know touch-typing to be a good programmer, what you need is to think clearly and logically and be able to weight many different options by a variety of complex goals.

Which LLMs can't.

I don't think it makes writing code faster, just may reduce the number of key presses required
