It's actually really good for targeted debugging. Not the tool itself - still goes into lala land if you let it (arguably even more than trying to build out something). But I get to deeply think about code, then tell the agent to go make a small prototype or explain some arcane thing to me. Then I reason about it some more, etc.

The other times, when I let it generate 3k LOC with minimal supervision, yeah, that's when I die inside.
