I'm going back to writing code by hand | Hacker News

Hacker News users debated AI-assisted coding, saying it works best only after developers define the architecture first.

Several commenters argued that AI output still needs close human review, especially for correctness and maintainability.

One participant said they prefer codemods and lint rules for large refactors instead of trusting generated code.

The discussion highlights a broader question: can AI replace hands-on software design, or only support it?
