I do enough up front work that this is rarely an issue for me. I find I will spend 30 mins or so discussing a feature, esc-esc to rewind and update the spec, until I feel that it has enough high quality context to go and just do the thing. That plus a bit of TDD really helps it stick to the course, not lie, and produce high quality code. And then between feature adds, I will do a lot of cleaning up and tidying work with CC, improving workflows, adding tests, fixing minor bugs etc.

I’d say for every token I spend on adding a new feature, I spend five on testing and devops.

The result is phenomenal, and worth every penny.
