There is somewhat a spectrum from none, to grammarly-style cleanup, to whisprflow to 'look at my project, write me a HN-ready post'.

Personally, I've done a 180, where I started at light touchups to rough draft-to-polished back to almost none, to keep the writing my own (I do some writing at jakobs.dev).

I don't care for coding new stuff. Everything I may need either already exists or is too complex to do on my own (and no, I won't vibe-code it, what's the fun in that?)

I don't even code for work anymore since I moved to a project/service management role.
