Did you set up context? Did you run it in existing code base? Do you have linters, unit tests?
I have JIRA mcp wired up I tell agent to pick up the ticket it makes a feature. I review PR deploy to test server click happy flow through.
It works for me and company I work for. There is a world of difference between using Claude Code, Cursor configured properly and just using copy paste code with chat interface.
I am always baffled by how people take their experience as „this is ultimate truth”.

People are just recounting their experiences. It’s true my first experiences were all terrible with AI, I’m still just getting to a workable experience. It’s better when it can iterate a bit, that hides the fact that the first pass might have hallucinated junk that is smoothed over in subsequent passes.
As a follow up I also tried running AI on a bastard child project - it took all the bad practices that were there.
When used in projects with good practices it was writing good code.
