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.
