Some agent-written tools and modules are easily the best codebases I've worked with. Documented correctly to the T with various charts and explanations for everything, "start here" guides, concepts defined clearly, and very good Git commit messages.

Naturally you can also have a LLM one-shot a 14000 line PHP monstrosity - it's up to you still, LLM or not.

The main problem is that it'll probably be a waste of time to code anything yourself if Claude is back online in 8 hrs. It's like walking to the next bus stop when you missed your bus - it won't make you get home any sooner.

8 hrs will probably be better spent reading specs or checking things with stakeholders so the next features you let Claude implement are the ones the business actually wants.
