I’ve found some success is small projects, with limited scope, in a greenfield.

I’m terrified to attempt agentic anything in the repo my job actually cares about. I triggered it once by accident, when the agent was first rolled out and enabled by default… it broke everything. Now I just use ask mode, and even that is wrong half the time, and once it goes wrong it just keeps getting worse.

I saw a post from Dave Plumber who vibe coded up a new cross platform task manager. He said his spec document for the AI was 107 pages long. So maybe what I’m doing wrong is not giving the AI a literal novel of spec.

This sounds like programming but with extra steps that make it take longer with less reliability.
