The short answer to your question is “yes”. I’ve been a part of projects that largely leveraged agentic coding tools and produced net posititve results. BUT, we didn’t skip code review and we didn’t lower the bar for what good code looks like.

In my personal experience (working as part of a team and not a solo dev), good documentation and well-documented/enforced practices can produce great results. That said, it’s not 100% perfect but neither are humans.
