That's crazy. Coding without AI doesn't even matter anymore? I could understand saying it's not preferred by some. Or that it's sub-optimal. Or old-fashioned. But it doesn't matter at all?

Is that true though? Every time i tried to get Sonnet to write out any actually complicated layout/component, I ended up with a novel of classNames with a ton of duplication and useless additions. Those are very hard to spot inside a soup of tailwind classes, whereas I can see them immediately in a nicely laid out stylesheet. This happened extremely often when I tried to iterate with Cursor/CC on the given design, instead of giving up immediately after it failed to one-shot it.
