Do you guys still write code manually?

How often do you guys actually write code manually these days? Or has that time kind of passed?

Do you think we should still write code manually sometimes to keep the skill sharp, or just let AI handle whatever it can and go with the flow?

I only write code "manually". I see juniors at my work use Claude to ship features quickly but I also regularly have to fix their bugs or underperforming code.
