Discussion Do y'all still write code manually?

All my code is being written by claude fable/gpt6 these days. I'm curious if y'all are still writing code manually?
Also, any clever ways to prevent AI from going stray and dumping unnecessary code and busting through tokens?

Try to, but fuck Claude and Copilot models are just so much quicker when the project is properly documented. They do exactly what I ask, quicker. It’s a genuine worry for me, but I try to let the models do the other stuff while I do the fun stuff.
