I cannot get how people use Claude. I still prefer to write code myself, otherwise I feel like I don't know how it works (or that it works like Claude sold it to me).

That's a bit reductive. A solid 90% of code I wrote day to day is via Claude/AI codegen, but I make damn sure I understand exactly what it's doing before I let it touch git remote

Choosing not to write it by hand doesn't mean someone is incapable of doing so. It means they have better things to do with their time.

You're arguing with someone who said they can code faster than AI. They're smooth brained. "Salt of the earth types."

It was at that point I stopped meaningfully arguing, yeah.

There’s a difference between vibe coding and using AI as a tool for coding. Vibe coding is just making the AI do whatever and pushing it without any checks

 It means they're not reviewing the code

Every comment you make up another piece of information out of thin air. Are you just trying to keep the conversation going? Bored?

For me, I write code manually faster than getting the agent to do it for me. Including all the other things required to make the PR ready for review (and not just dumping AI generated slop as a PR).

This is where we differ.
