* vim / emacs - full manual

* VSCode / IntelliJ - semi-automatic

* ClaudeCode/Codex/OpenCode/... - fully automated

There are some critical parts of architecture where sometimes I really do need to see the code and even sometimes put a wall around it and tell the agent they can't touch it.

Saying it can't stay in between is like saying a company can't sell both regular bikes and electric bikes. Or bikes that can do both.
