Coding is the 5 minute result for an hour of thinking.
The misconception also arises because Ai companies use the word thinking and everything else too which is what the general population says and then this just gets caught on by Engineers too.
When we say reason/think/etc. all the hype created by AI definitely gets a boost imo.
Do we say these for a lack of a better term or was it intentional that we say reason/think?
