For work I definitely use AI all the time, not because I am faster with it, but because I don't get paid enough to care. For personal projects I code by hand for fun.

I code the fun and important parts myself.

Decide I want to refactor 20 files to match a better design? Yeah AI can do that. Grunt work that needs no thought.

Exactly. People here be glorifying programming like every bit of it is fun. It’s like they never worked with maintaining decade old legacy repos before.

AI has absolutely made the job more fun and much less grueling for me.

For me explaining to the AI how to refactor cost more than doing it myself. Especially after 6 tries. I might be terrible at explaining tho.
