Oh yes. I am amateur-developping for 35 years and when I vibe code I let the basic, generic stuff happen and then tell the AI to refactor the way I want. It usually works.

I had the same "too boring to code" approach and AI was a revelation. It takes off the typing but allows, when used correctly, for the creative part. I love this.

The OP question was about agentic utility specifically. I've also gotten great side-project utility from AI codegen without having to marry my project to CC or give up on looking at code by simply prompting when I need something from whatever LLM.

Nothing wrong with CC, but I keep hearing the same kind of app being built -- home automation, side-project CRUD.

What I'm deeply skeptical of is the ability for agentic to integrate with a team maintaining+shipping a critical offering. If you're using LLMs for one-off PRs, great but then agentic seems like a band aid for memory etc.

Meamwhile if you're full CC/agentic it seems like a team would get out of sync.
