For major new features on my SaaS this is exactly what I do on my phone/laptop sometimes over days or weeks. I never look at the code until I get a feeling that it's far enough along and then I will hop into the actual code and start manually making changes or using CC locally to make the changes iteratively over weeks until it's ready for release. In the early stages of a major new feature/product it can be counterproductive to closely monitor the AI. Of course like you said in your comment this requires very very strong knowledge of the code base and a lot of experience with using the agents in the first place. But once you can do this sort of workflow it's very powerful because you can do this in parallel with other work (just an hour or two per day over a week or two on your phone can get you to a really good first draft even on a major new feature/product. And of course I'm not saying it's ready for production that can still take weeks but that's not really the point)
