Veteran open-source dev: my last hand-written code was January 2026, I'm never going back

Veteran developer facontidavide—who wrote his first program around age 10 in the late 80s and shipped multiple OSS projects over the past decade—says his last manual coding session was January 2026, and he will never go back to writing code by hand. He jokes he still writes his posts manually, judging by the typos and bad autocorrect.
