Same experience and I do work (remotely) for a US company. We aren't allowed to have non-local LLMs touch the whole codebase of the product so we still code many things by hand.
The "I haven't written or read code in a year" experience is not universal.
And I also have roughly the same approach for my own projects. I use LLMs to brainstorm design, algorithms, data structures, maybe have it spit out small building blocks in isolation, but I'm still very much in control and owning every line.
