Sure, but again, this assumes both that handwriting code sometimes outperforms LLMs, and also that your employer agrees with this.

I think it’s only a matter of time (again, if we’re not already there) before LLMs outperform handwritten code nearly all of the time.

And, even if that’s not the case, I’m pretty convinced nearly all employers believe this is true, whether it is or not.

So your employer only sees a “middle ground” as room for higher productivity.
