If you don't like typing, why are you a programmer?


Maybe you should educate them on how to be a professional rather than an amateur.

Professionals understand that code is part of a process and not the sole point of development.
Of course other parts of the process are architecture, design, implementation, testing and maintenance. Not to mention the cost of all of those.

Of those steps the part that "reduces" code is only one part. Unless it does, objectively, reduce the cost overall then it isn't in fact professional. At a minimum it must be easier to maintain (thus understand) for the average programmer that works at the company. If it doesn't then it isn't cost effective and therefor it fails.
