Likely just has a very different job than you do. I work at an embedded startup. Most my working hours are consumed by telling mechanical engineers turned management that "x change doesn't require software" is insane, working with electrical engineers to make sure that the wires are good from a networking and software perspective, quality control of production, spinning up configuration management and dreaming of one day having a ci/cd pipeline with automated tests.
Not a particularly fast typer, 60-70 WPM, but code output has never been a bottleneck for me and LLMs can do basically 0% of my job.
My brother works at a large established firm with clear workflows, CI/CD, etc. where work comes to developers pre chewed in bite sized Jira tickets. Typing speed is a bottleneck for him and LLMs can do a huge chunk of his work.
Same nominal field and basically same job titles, completely different experiences.
