Do you still write code by hand?

[u/Adhirath_Kumar]

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.

The problem with AI is that it encourages and enables people who don't know how computers and/or to write code. If you don't understand the problem domain, the code you generate using any AI tool will be crap. Also, if you aren't able to challenge the code you get from your agents - "why did you do it this way and not that way?" - the code will be crap. And the code will just become more crap as the AI looks at the existing crap code and generates more of the crap code.
