Ask HN: Are you still writing code by hand?
Genuine question. Some of my colleagues pretty much have AI write most of their code, and others barely use it unless they get really stuck. How are you adopting agents and LLMs at work? I use both. For me AI is like a broad brush, good for generating a lot of code or making sweeping modifications until it fits my standard and requirements. Then the iterating starts, making targeted improvements, and I think at this point it's a wash because I can be much faster than AI as it will take multiple passes to do something efficiently and concisely. But I think this is contingent on deep familiarity with the code and project. Yes, I code by hand. I haven't found the value of genAI in coding the others seem to. Of course because I am not stuck. In the stillness, code gets deleted, by hand.
