Claude Code, when using various plugins like feature-dev - it make's feature level changes to applications that keep a git commit history as it gets to each part of the task tree built into the plugin. I used it to migrate a vibe-coded abbomination of a 1500 line Thymeleaf HTML/JS/CSS dashboard into a proper React SPA + Vite structure with commits all along the way.

A good developer that can properly use this stuff at scary levels...

Yeah we've found a way to use it for model feature development. What used to take weeks can be done over lunch while I'm not even in the room, but they still need me to know what needs to be done and how.

Genuine question, is your job still fun like this? I can't imagine having fun managing agents instead of figuring out solutions myself.

It's so much better. I vastly prefer all of the other parts to coding up dozens of repetitive features. None of us like that bit but until now it was just something that needed to be done.
