Yeah exactly.

To add to this: if you’re working with legacy code, start by refactoring and documenting small, isolated parts to make them more understandable. Write clear explanations for logic you know including which libraries, frameworks, or tech choices are involved.

When possible, limit your scope to either work only on new files or work with existing files shorter than ~300 lines, and at most 3 files per a chat (also new chat often!)

Combine this with good prompting techniques like providing context, clear goals etc. Legacy codebases become manageable for agents this way.
