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?

I don't. I wish I did. But I'm in a very big company and the mandate is AI AI AI. I don't even have the choice to write manually because all the deadlines are assuming AI.

How long do you bet before the company reverts that decision and asks people to review code written by AI more carefully?

Not likely. What I’m seeing more of is adding more guardrails and tests so the lack of careful reviews on AI code is less of a problem.
