Burkov roasts Codex: nudging it repeatedly just to get from 15% to 26% done

ML author Andriy Burkov shares a relatable bit about coding with Codex: it completes only 15% of a task and stops, inching to 24% and 26% only after being told to continue — and even suggests the user prompt "Why did you stop again? Continue and don't stop until fully done!" The post nails a common frustration with coding agents stalling mid-task.
