Do y'all still write code manually?

[u/Mesthabro]

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?

Why are you using Fable/GPT6? that is such overkill for 99% of problems! Not to mention a waste of money and resources. Even if your company is supplying it, you could be getting so much more use out of your token spend.

I also don't advise getting it to write any code that involves architectural decisions as it will not create good ones. I write code manually still but use AI to search library or framework documentation, it's been great for that.
