One-shot "vibe coding" is generally a mistake.

But using an agentic LLM to complete boilerplate is attractive simply because we've created a mountain of accidental and intentional complexity in building software. It's more of a regression to the mean of going back to the cognitive load we had when we simply built desktop applications.

Tell it to make a plan. Ask it to do 3-5 steps at a time. “One shotting” works very well.
