Why do developers continue to write code by hand?

Imagine you need to write a long piece of text that requires you to think things through, gather information, and analyze it. Then you have to write the text itself, proofread it, correct any errors, and refine the wording. Let’s say you spend 10 hours on this task. Now you need to translate this finished text into another language that you also know very well. You can translate it yourself or use an automatic translator. In the first case, you’ll need to translate each sentence manually and choose the best idioms so that the text sounds natural to a native speaker. The time required for translation increases proportionally to the length of the text. But if you use an automatic translator, you’ll get the translation in a matter of seconds. All that’s left for you to do is proofread the text and correct any words that were translated incorrectly. The time spent on intellectual work when drafting the text is dozens of times greater than that spent on mechanical translation.Here’s…
