That's all part of writing it. Typing gibberish you don't understand or that doesn't work doesn't count.

Not necessarily, even before having all these models, I spent most of my time thinking rather than coding. The coding part is just the final nail, that's my approach at least.

Same here really, i plan the structure, then have ai throw it together, then i clean up and build off of that

I can't say i particularly miss writing the mindless boilerplate stuff

Surely missing that process, you forget error handling. As you write, its consistently, what if this is null, what if the input is like x. There are many questions you should ask yourself and if you AI it, you'll forget.

In my experience, the ai generate code has better error handling than code i write myself

I'm lazy so i only write if it's important (and i think of it), the AI is less lazy and often codes quite defensively in my experience
