The "thinking & coding" vs "thinking & fixing" graph is interesting. I've found this to be the case recently as I've been trying out Codex. I expected to spend a lot of time fixing the AI's code. Weirdly that has led to me spending a long time fixing issues which turn out to be nothing to do with the code.

Most recently I was struggling to get an authentication setup working. I spent at least an hour combing through the code looking for the mistake. The issue turned out to be that the VM I was working on had a broken ipv6 configuration.
