I believe most of these people (including myself) in this context are just talking about boring / obvious / easy code. And yeah, I’d say a large percentage of code changes I do is plumbing for the few interesting ones.
AI handles the boring bits very well, and to me that is the most energetically draining part of coding (the hard parts are fun and invigorating).
Whether it only fits the current codebase’s context or not doesn’t really matter, you just give it important samples from and info about the codebase at the start of your prompt. My baseline prompt length is ~30k tokens due to that.
I do review and polish everything that’s generated though, as needed. Vibe coding (not even reading / understanding the generated code) I believe was coined primarily for having fun in side projects. If you’re using it for production code then you’re likely holding it wrong.
