With AI, it’s tempting to create big tickets because AI can handle big tasks, and it generates code so quickly.

But the benefits of small, focused tickets remain relevant in the AI era.

- Get feedback quicker.

- Avoids context bloat / compacting.

- Less chance of spending a bunch of time going in the wrong direction.

- Leads to small PRs, which are easier to review.

- I’m more likely to understand a small ticket, and to notice gaps, inconsistencies, and logical issues in the requirements.

- Small tickets lead to smaller releases, which reduces risk.
