> I'm not trying to write code faster, my own experience is that writing code faster leads to shitter code.

I'm wondering who these programmers are who are sitting down for eight hours a day, pumping out perfect code at 200wpm without any breaks. I suspect they might not exist.

Your typing speed is not the limiting factor in productivity. You have to think carefully, plan a solution, then put out code without errors. Not using LSPs helps you accurately model the code in your head ahead of time and increases your accuracy. It's slower at first but much faster in the end. Because your typing speed was never the limiting factor in your productivity.

I was more suspicious that they refuse to engage in the concept of productivity at all. Why bother using computers in the first place, then? There are more beautiful things in the world to contemplate than code.
