I often see people making these sub agents modelled on roles like product manager, back end developer, etc.

I spent a few hours trying stuff like this and the results were pretty bad compared to just using CC with no agent specific instructions.

Maybe I needed to push through and find a combination that works but I don't find this article convincing as the author basically says "it works" without showing examples or comparing doing the same project with and without subagents.

Anyone got anything more convincing to suggest it's worth me putting more time into building out flows like this instead of just using a generic agent for everything?

This has been my experience so far as well. It seems like just basic prompting gets me much further than all these complicated extras.

At some point you gotta stop and wonder if you’re doing way too much work managing claude rather than your business problem.
