at all? i guess no one, but i think there's still a portion of people writing part of their code by hand, like libs, utils, classes etc that the agent can use directly instead the agent will generate their own piece from the scratch in order to protect maintainability

Yeah that’s interesting - I feel like smaller chunks of work that aren’t inherently complex like class definitions and utils etc are actually one of the nicest things LLMs help automate - I can understand a human modifying the output directly to finesse it to exactly what they want but I’d be curious why someone wouldn’t want to use an LLM to generate all the boilerplate and make a quick first draft of something that gets 80-90% of the way there for these kinds of things.

Definitely curious if anyone is actually doing this fully by hand and if so, why!
