I feel like there's an inevitable phase to every ai/agentic worked feature/epic
where you have to get in and chat with it 2025 style (except it actually works
and doesn't turn your project to shit).  Planning is great, planning out epics
for full orchestrator's to churn for hours on is amazing, but it always leaves
me with a handful of thorns multiplied by complexity level of things that I
can shout a list of 6 items at a time that it can one shot.  I haven't seen
anyone put a name to this phase yet, so I'm going to call it the UAT phase
for now and it seems like a very necessary part of the SDLC.  It was
important before, but feels more so now as engineers distance themselves
from the implementation.
