> Can you spend 3 months fixing a bug and doing nothing else?

In what world would that be needed or accepted.

It generally takes 1-2 days to fix harder issues lile race conditions/memory corruptions. Regular bugs are much faster. All fixed correctly without AI.

AI just goes on a random path every time and in general fails to find the root cause unless you tell it explicitly what it is...

great that it's working on your end
