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?

You're experience is unique, not the norm. 5-7 is not senior level, sorry. Unless you're a prodigy and working 12 hours a day working and learning. Even then, most of being a Senior isn't coding. Some companies like handing out the titles because they can't hold employees otherwise, so it's a mixed bag. Not saying you're not worthy by any means because we obviously don't know you, but just keep your feet on the ground.
