How much time is actually spent writing code?

> I think that gets back to something Fred Brooks said in TMMM: a lot of debugging is actually debugging the specification. An AI coding assistant might be nice, but it isn't going to debug the specification for me.

It is well-known that "the customer never knows what they want" and that a large part of the work and value of IT consultants is to "extract" it from them.

AI fans will immediately tell you that of course LLMs can have that sort of discussion - for a MUCH cheaper price.
