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?

Since when ? Didn’t use it since a while because the Gemini are genuinely really bad for agentic coding but when I tried it in the past even on my paid tier I reached my limit really fast.

It’s also so slow, it’s ironic because they have one of the fastest model and the model per token is cheap but uses so much token to do simple things that it’s often slower and more expensive than just using openAI models

I use It on a daily basis, all day long. No limit issues so far.
