The thread drew 148 comments on 66 upvotes, a comment-to-score ratio of 2.24 that marks real practitioner debate rather than upvote drift. The top answer (137 upvotes) is from an SWE who gets better results giving any model a smaller targeted task and says fully vibe-coded apps have been nothing but trouble at work. The most-cited framing is blast radius, with one commenter drawing the line at internal tooling versus business-critical features. (r/LocalLLaMA) Matches my experience exactly. Full auto is great for work I could throw away.
