Agreed. An agent only multiplies what's already in the codebase. If you've got tests, clear boundaries and the rules written down, it genuinely flies. If it's the usual undocumented mess, you just get more mess, faster. Which is probably why the shops that dodged that groundwork for years are getting the least out of AI now. There's nothing solid under it to build on.
