I don't actually want to weigh directly into dogpiling discourse, but if literally typing the code out is the most time consuming part for you and you don't have a physical disability that limits your typing speed you're quite likely not a very good programmer.

This is precisely why I made the swap myself; Linux might be a tad more fussy than Windows but I have the real sense that it is not going to try to be anything more than Going On The Computer from back in the 90s.

I think about this Tony Benn speech much more than I used to

Calling AI "slop" has been one of the most effective instances of the public rebranding a product and it pisses them off.
