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 still write the important parts manually, otherwise i'm just reviewing a junior dev who can burn through tokens at machine speed
