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?

  The Linux kernel is essentially the nightmare scenario for a LLM.
  No tests, not much documentation to work with, a very high acceptability bar, multiple ways to do the smallest change and every single word on your commit messages is very important.
  You can start with a LLM but there going to be some manual modifications you will have to make, even with the best model available
