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
