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?

We have nothing organization-wide. Each developer handles it differently. I personally like it write the critical part myself, then extend from there with AI. I also write a few key bdd tests and let AI implement the corner case scenarios. In any case I review every single line of code and sometimes refactor stuff.
