Helped: Planning the change before handing it off.

… I'm a little surprised with how many people resonate with this. I spent 30 mins today planning a change that affected multiple modules, and then handed it off the plan to the Claude to implement, and came back to 4 PRs fully ready to merge 15 mins later. 1 year ago, this kind of work would have taken me a better portion of the day, especially given the amount of searching I would need to do to build context.
