In the thread “How much can you delegate to agents?”
Helped: Refactoring feature flags and catching special cases.
Got in the way: Lacking business knowledge and long-term context.
This post is full of things opposite of what I've found. An agent (claude code at least) will certainly refactor feature flags better than I ever could and is less likely to miss special cases. What the agent struggles with is business knowledge - context I hold in my head as a human communicating with other humans and working on a codebase over a long period of time.
