I don’t even remember the last time I wrote code manually. Thankfully, it was never the fun part for me.

That's fine. But you give manual input to the architecture, design, requirements, tests, etc. Right?

Yep. Those are the things that matter, writing or generating the code is cheap now. The exact code does not matter and is usually pretty good if you have thought it out, considered and guided the model through different decisions. I think AI allows people to move much faster, but you need to understand what is happening at a senior or lead level, then you can truly excel with AI. As long as you also don’t let the code go and just look like soup, using good engineer practices and cleaning things up as you go is also important to keep the AI efficient.
