To your first question, I am. And higher quality, not just quantity.
As far as code, it's admittedly not the main part of my job and not my biggest strength, so yeah I need the help. I ask it to solve small problems, not write the entire thing.
For my writing, most recently I used it to incorporate social pressure into membership emails (peer influence and social proof).
On your last point, my first job in politics was creating the MySpace theme for a party committee; I used to create stuff in Flash; most of the toolsets I've used for my work no longer exist. The list of useless skills I possess is endless and my useless skills are way above 90%. You just have to learn new stuff and it's fine.
