I do all of my code by hand. I don't even use an LSP. It makes sense as long as it makes sense to you.

You don't need to change the way you do things because of some perceived thing you're missing out on. That is what the AI companies want you to feel and think because it benefits them.

This applies to more than AI, but programming language choices and more. Heck, it even applies to social issues and politics :)

Make your own choices and walk your own path.

I am already being forced to use Claude for all coding in my job. All personal projects/code I still write by hand. This has always been the fun part of software development for me.

Which is great and why I started coding too. But for my day job I can’t have an employee deliver 1/4 of the code of someone using AI and ask for a full paycheck.

This, the FOMO is real, but giving in to it based on others perceptions is naive
