The best usage is to ask LLM to explain existing code, to search in the legacy codebase.

I've found this to be not very useful in large projects or projects that are very modularized or fragment across many files.

Because sometimes it can't trace down all the data paths and by the time it does it's context window is running out.

That seems to be the biggest issue I see for my daily use anyways
