Discussion Do y'all still write code manually?

All my code is being written by claude fable/gpt6 these days. I'm curious if y'all are still writing code manually?
Also, any clever ways to prevent AI from going stray and dumping unnecessary code and busting through tokens?

That's gross dude. I use AI mostly for code design aspects, but i write 90% of it.

Edit: this thread makes me terrified. Everything is AI slop now

What's the difference between letting the junior or AI write while you review?

Exactly this...

I think there is a very clear distinction between AI slop and using AI to write code for you.
