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

Comments

I still think I haven’t gotten much more productive than a year ago:

I wrote the barebones, scaffolding, and where I cared about the details. Agents stamped out the rest from those patterns.

Everyone speaks about this stuff in anecdotes. Or heroic attempts to have agent only projects.

But very little actual data on real gains in actual quality as experienced by users? Harder to measure IMO. And may even be subjective to each developer.
