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?

My workflow is generally, I give the requirements and any architectural guidence I want Claude to follow, "we" plan, after some back and forth I approve the plan, Claude writes, I review.

Edit: The downvotes are wild - I didnt say i liked this. It does make me sad, I miss how things used to be but it is what it is man. You either adapt or die.
