I think I have evidence it works for me in that a bunch of unfinished projects suddenly finished themselves and work for me in the way I want them to. So whatever delta there was between my ideas and my execution, it has been closed for me. If I'm being honest, the people who get utility out of this tool don't need any tutorials. The smattering of ideas that people mention is sufficient. The people who don't get util…

> Is there evidence that agentic coding works?
Yes plenty, tons, and growing every single day, people are producing code and tooling that works for them and is providing them value. My linkedin is even starting to show me none-programmers knocking up web front ends for us, and my brother who is a builder is now drawing up requirement specs for software!
> Is the code high-quality
Only if you are really careful, and constantly have the human in the loop guiding the agent, and it's not easy. This is where domain expertise and experience come in.
Do I think it's possible, yes, do I think there are a ton of good examples out there, absolutely not.

The simplest metric you should be tracking is; has it generated income.
In this sense my use of agentic coding has performed very well. People asking for evidence and repos are a little naive to how capitalism works in the real world. If I’m making money on something I’m not going to let you copy it, and I’m sure as hell not going to devalue it by publicising that it was built by AI.
I'll bite. Here's my realtime Bluetooth heart rate monitor for linux, with text output and web interface. https://github.com/lowrescoder/BlueHeart This was 100% written by Claude Code, my input was limited to mostly accepting Claude suggestions except a couple of cases where I could make suggestions to speed up development (skipping some tests I knew would work). Particularly interesting because I didn't expect this…
Is there a name for the UI style of the web server page? I've noticed several web apps have a similar style to that.

I've had great success coding infra (terraform). It at least 10x the generation of easily verifiable and tedious to write code. Results were audited to death as the client was highly regulated.
Professional feature dev is hit and miss for sure, although getting better and better. We're nowhere near full agentic coding. However, by reinvesting the speed gains from not writing boilerplate into devex and tests/security, I bring to life much better quality software, maintainable and a boy to work with.
I suddenly have the homelab of my dreams, all the ideas previously in the "too long to execute" category now get vibe coded while watching TV or doing other stuff.
As an old jaded engineer, everything code was getting a bit boring and repetitive (so many rest APIs). I guess you get the most value out of it when you know exactly what you want.
Most importantly though, and I've heard this from a few other seniors: I've found joy in making cool fun things with tech again. I like that new way of creating stuff at the speed of thought, and I guess for me that counts as "it works"
