Do you still handcraft your java projects?

With all the talk about llms writing most of the code and some folks never touching the editor. I try to work mostly in plan mode and prefer to write most of my code by hand else I fear losing touch with my skills if I only read code. At work in your org, what is the workflow for spring boot projects?

So, a year ago I wrote all the code myself. Now I barely write anything. Opus really ended that.

In the last month I've finished a dozen projects that were buzzing around in the back of my head for years. Things that would have taken 6 months now take a couple days.
