Even when 100% issue-oriented (that is, spending no time on editor-customizatons or developing other skill and toolkits) consider the difference between:

1. This thing at work broke. Understand why it broke, and fix it in a way which stays and has preventative power. In the rare case where the cause is extremely shallow, like a typo, at least the fix is still reliable.

2. This thing at work broke. The LLM zigged when it should have zagged for no obvious reason. There is plausible-looking code that is wrong in a way that doesn't map to any human (mis-)understanding. Tweak it and hope for the best.
