That's what developers told the world. Now they're exposed, it never really took that long to write the code. (Only partly joking.)
Actually, a whole lot of time went into reading other developers' code, getting documentation in sync with the actual implementation. And if you didn't do all that, you tended to have a lot more bugs / vulnerabilities, etc. The LLMs are wicked fast at reviewing code, they don't find ALL the problems, a lot of problems they do find aren't worth fixing, but they do find more actual actionable problems per minute than most developers can find per hour in a big code base.
