I also do. One unique important thing that agents rob you of is time with your code - you don't get to craft it so you remember just as well as you would have if you copied answers for a test.

That's an excellent point. With my larger personal projects, which I have to put away for weeks at a time due to my (not-at-all-programming) job, I can come back and (more or less) dive right back in because I used patterns and organizational structures familiar to me. And if I'm digging into a particular thing, I can eventually remember all the trials and tribulations that went into the decisions I made to get to that point.

With AI code you get none of that, like you said. I can't imagine not knowing or understanding why something works the way it does, and releasing it, with my name on it, for others to use.
