I'm thirding this sentiment!

I run an eComm business and have built multiple software tools that each save the business $1000+ per month, in measurable wage savings/reductions in misfires.

What used to take a month or so can now be spat out in less than a week, and the tools are absolutely fit for purpose.

It's arguably more than that, since I used to have to spread that month of work over 3-6 months (working part time while also doing daily tasks at the warehouse), but now can just take a week WFH and come back with a notable productivity gain.

I will say, to give credit to the anti-AI-hype crowd, that I make sure to roll the critical parts of the software by hand (things like the actual calculations that tell us what price an item at, for example). I did try to vibecode too much once and it backfired.

But things like UIs, task managers for web apps, simple API calls to print a courier label, all done with vibes.

Understanding when to make something deterministic and not is critical. Taste and judgement is critical.
