Ask HN: Are there any developers prefer writing code manually?

There has been help with our productivity, but I felt like it's taking the joy of coding away.

Like I review AI-composed code, but it doesn't necessarily mean I know what every piece of code is doing there.

Do you guys have the same issue?

Apart from the joy, I find it more useful, to have tools I know and can repair

I won't let ai anywhere near my code. It doesnt matter that ai is faster than me, it produces shit results.

Hello, I'm the builder of Decispher. It captures the reasoning behind your team's decisions and serves it both ways: to your engineers, and to your AI agents before they write code.

One feature i would like to talk about: Branch Story (VS Code extension + npm). It captures the reasoning, diffs, and terminal output as work happens, then surfaces it at PR review time, so a reviewer knows why the code is the way it is instead of just reading a diff and hoping it's fine.

There's also "why is this line here": right-click any line in the editor, get the decision behind it.
