Dear HN, I have a question: Does it still make sense to write code purely by hand? Let me clarify.First of all, I m not talking about environments where you need to move fast or where your required to use LLMs. I m referring more to an environment where you do it on your own terms, rather than on the terms of the employer.Secondly, I m not talking about prompting Build me the next twitter clone , but rather prompting very small tasks after you have made the initial design, something along the lines of Create a database migration that adds column [x], not null , add a field to the this form that will accept string value, validate it on the backend against this format, and save it to column [x] . So basically, writing code in plain English.Why do I ask? I believe that writing something yourself helps you learn it better, but at the same time, if you did all the thinking and now just prompting for a fancy auto-complete, we could argue that the hardest part (the design) was already done, and you skip the writing for the sake of writing. On the other hand, I am afraid that if I will stop writing code in environments where I can still do it, I will lose the ability to think about code and understand code.Whats your take on this?
