I essentially have 3 modes:

1. Everything is specified, written and tested by me, then cleaned up by AI. This is for the core of the application.

2. AI writes the functions, then sets up stub tests for me to write. Here I’ll often rewrite the functions as they often don’t do what I want, or do too much. I just find it gets rid of a lot of boilerplate to do things this way.

3. AI does everything. This is for experiments or parts of an application that I am perfectly willing to delete. About 70% of the time I do end up deleting these parts. I don’t allow it to touch 1 or 2.

Of course this requires that the architecture is setup in a way where this is possible. But I find it pretty nice.

This is the way imo, at least for now.
