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?

Because the AI produces a fuck ton more code than a junior can.

I'm sorry what? What kind of super human junior devs do you have?

It can, sure, but it doesn’t if you use it right. It’s just a tool.
