Comment on Ask HN: Does it still make sense to write code by hand?

Comments

Yeah, still write by hand.

Even though the translation from English algorithm to code is the "boring" part that an LLM can do, the process of doing that works as a kind of REM sleep where I'm coming up with ways to make the program better

And for a lot of simple tasks, there's plenty of stuff where it's quicker to type a command than an English description of the same thing.
