They do and I think a lot of that is LLM'd these days, though that's just what I hear third-hand.

I do agree that this:

> What’s gone is the tearing, exhausting manual labour of typing every single line of code.

seems more than a little overblown. But I do sympathize with not feeling motivated to write a lot of glue and boilerplate, and that "meh" often derails me on personal projects where it's just my internal motivation competing against my internal de-motivation. LLMs have been really good there, especially since many of those are cases where only I will run or deal with the code and it won't be exposed to the innertubes.

Maybe the author can't touch type, but that's a separate problem with its own solution. :)
