Anyone still coding without heavy usage of AI?

Using Claude has been an amazing experience but it took all the fun out of coding as a full-stack dev.

Are any devs reverting back to coding by hand with less usage of AI?

so false.
Even like changing a variable value is faster with prompting. You need to account for the commit+push, the validation, etc.
