It a terrifying path we're taking, everyone's competency is going to be 1:1 correlated to the quality and quantity of tokens they can afford (or be loaned).. I prefer to build by hand, I also don't think its that much slower to do by hand, and much rewarding... Sure you can be faster if you're building slop landing pages for your hypothetical SaaS you'll never finish but why would I want to build those things.

It's not slower to do by hand. I race the AI all the time. I give it a simple task to write a small script that I need to complete a task that is blocking me... and the "thinking" thing spins and spins. So I often just fire up a code editor and write it myself, often before the AI is actually done after I have to cajole it through 10 iterations to get what I want. And when I race it, I get what I want every time, and often in the same or less time than it takes the AI (plus the time that I have to spend cajoling it).
