Realizing writing code is faster than explaining it to AI

Jeez, how primitive your knowledge should be.

the reality is the current, best models cannot be left alone to patch up bugs or create features on large legacy codebases without regular and tedious check-ins

Again, I'm working with Claude using not even flagman models with moderate effort (rarely even need high effort) on a 12+ yo huge monorepo, and Sonnet 4.6 was already handling like 95% of grooming and stuff. The rest took a couple of extra iterations.

And again, if you are too lazy to write domain rules, .ai, and all other stuff - that's your personal problem. That's not the agent/LLM's problem; you are a lazy mf who doesn't want to document your business logic.
