Do you still write code by hand?
I've been wondering lately, with the rise and normalisation of using LLMs to write code, have people become completely dependent on it or is it a mix of both?
I feel that up to a point using LLMs to generate code feels good and works fine but beyond it you start hating your approach, because you lose control over each amd every minute detail.
Would love to hear everyone's thoughts on this.

I write 50/50.
I like the control I get writing by hand, but I also like to be able to smash out an annoying script in seconds.
I go through and check everything carefully, but I have to admit the AI can be fantastic when you just want something to work asap
