    Seems low. 80% people are manually typing in things? In my circle it's close to 0% code written manually.

    Do linux devs live in a completely different microcosm?

      I would assume that linux devs are relatively older. Furthermore they are probably very knowledgeable in that area, and one thing I've noted on here is people who are knowledgeable not liking the quality of code output from LLMs, if they have stringent quality requirements it might be easier for them to write the code themselves.
