How much time is actually spent writing code?

> Granted, there is a lot of Visual Basic etc. that has never been written by more than one person, read by less than one and that person's main job is not software engineering. Maybe not engineering at all. I think _this_ is where AI-generated code might have value.

And given my experience working currently as a "VBA Engineer", I'm not sure I agree with you ... in any company of any size, you need specialist end users, "Subject Matter Experts" as we call them, and any AI written code needs reviewing. In my only experience of doing so, I think I reduced about 100 lines of AI code to about 10 lines of company-standards-compliant code.
