As I'm getting better and better results with it, I'm having it do more and more things. I went through a complete agentic refactor of a project from Angular 17 to Angular 20 (RxJS to Signals) and I'd say it did it perfectly. A few times I'd get it summarize and start a new chat because it can start to get less effective when the history gets too long. I also had to iterate on what I wanted and do things a step a time. Although it was very clear that it also wanted to do things in pieces and test each major change before continuing on.

I think like any tool it's has it's pros and cons and the more you use it the more you figure out how to make the best use out of it and when to give up.
