Burkov: if you don't interrogate Codex line-by-line at handoff, you get 80%-done work

Andriy Burkov's practical warning: even with future harnesses and tooling, if you don't ask Codex (or whatever autocomplete you use) "Have you done exactly A? Exactly B?" after it reports a task complete, you'll get a job that's only 80% done. Treating that as 100% — as reported — can cost you a lot down the road.
