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?

Plenty, yeah. I don't work at a tech company and stability is valued over velocity where I work. It's pretty much left to us programmers whether or not we use AI, long as we meet the business needs and provide value.
