If what you are doing is novel then I don't think yolo'ing it will help either. Agents don't do novel. I've even noticed this in meeting summaries produced by AI: A prioritisation meeting? AI's summary is concise, accurate, useful. A software algorithm design meeting, trying to solve a domain-specific issue? AI did not understand a word of what we discussed and the summary is completely garbled rubbish.

If all you're doing is something that already exists but you decided to architecture it in a novel way (for no tangible benefit), then I'd say starting from scratch and make it look more like existing stuff is going to help AI be more productive for you. Otherwise you're on your own unless you can give AI a really good description of what you are doing, how things are tied together etc. And even then it will probably end up going down the wrong path more often than not.
