We write code by hand

    I feel like I have gone from 100% hand written code -> 0% hand written -> 50% and climbing.

    I think there are things LLMs are really good at coding up and experimenting with but I think there's still a need to understand the btoader context of your software so you need to dive in at some point.

      I had a similar experience but I'm closer to 95-99% hand written again now. I still use AI for reviewing and prototyping, but it feels like writing the code myself is the best way to actually know what's going on.
