Ask HN: Last time you wrote code?

do you keep up with writing syntax? do you do it as a hobby or try to weave it into work? do you do it from scratch or only when it's easier than prompting?

    October 2024. Every line of code since then has been written by AI.

    There hasn’t been a quarter before then that I haven’t written some type of code since early 1987

    A couple of hours ago. I do it when I need a small change and already know ~exactly what I want to type (which happens frequently), or when I get fed up with the yapper (which happens a couple times a day).

    for work? with all the tools the company provides, only when it’s faster than prompting. so friday.

    Tuesday. I tried prompting the latter half of this week, but found it incredibly unfulfilling. I’ll be writing code again on Monday.

    asking because it popped into my head that I hadn't really wrote (or edited more than a few lines of) code in quite a few weeks.
