yeah, sure we will nitpick the meaning now, on a personal level I stopped writing code manually at least 7 month ago.

its helping me convert my ideas to code, which is not too far from the meaning implied, because things don't happen on their own, there should be a trigger, in this case, I am the trigger, AI is the producer

You already wrote in one language that was translated to at least one other language before being sent to hardware. Has that changed?

I started coding at 8 years old, 28 years ago, been doing it since.

Switching over to mostly LLM generated code and it's been mentioned many times in my circle and family that they can still tell the projects are blatantly something I would do, what it would look like, and how my projects usually work in terms of UI/UX.

I get basically the same outcome as spending a week on something by hand, in minutes. I'm getting more work done than ever, and not losing focus on projects after they get to that last 10% that needs done that nobody wants to do.

I've always been a lone wolf coder and have joked forever that all I need is just another version of me that I can feed the ideas and how to build them, because I'm the only one that will do it exactly how I want. Now I have that, and so much stress in my life has vanished.

Anecdotal of course, but those that want to be salty can be salty. I did my time coding by hand, now I'm still getting it done while keeping up with the times and having a blast doing it.
