I'm going back to writing code by hand

I read all the code I generate with Cursor and some of it smells a bit weird but is easily fixable and most of it is as good as what I would write or better.

And it is only the beginning.

I read a bunch of Claude-Code-generated code last week and I was pretty impressed. It followed the established service class paradigm almost as exactly as we'd originally intended. The code was mostly very clean and had copious comments. A big step up from 2025 code.

For the record, I definitely don't immediately read the majority of code Claude writes these days. I just check on it periodicially. In terms of code quality it's as good as any human I know of.

Can be a bumbler at times. So can people.
