I disagree with your sentiment.
The difference isn't what's finishing a project is, is the dissonance between what M4v3R and rhubarbtree understand when talking about "nontrivial production" software.
When you're working in enterprise, you usually have multiple stakeholders each defining sometimes even conflicting requirements to behavior of your software. And you're required to adhere to these requirements stringently.
That's an environment that's inherently a bad fit for vibe coding.
It can still be used there, too, but you will not get a 2-3x speed up, because the LLM will always introduce minor behavioral changes - which aren't important in M4v3R scenario, but a complete deal breaket for rhubarbtree.
From my own experience, I don't get a speed up at all via CoPilot agentic mode (Claude code is banned at my workplace). But I have had a significant boost in productivity in projects that don't need to adhere to any specific spec - namely projects I do an my own time (with Claude code right now).
I still use Copilot agentic mode though. While I haven't timed myself, I don't think I'm faster with it whatsoever. It's just less mentally involved in a lot of scenarios, so it's less exhausting - leaving more energy for side projects .
