Fighting AI More Than Coding

So how many of you are mainly fighting with the AI instead of getting stuff done?

If you don't care about the code, sure, looks like it's working, but I checked my messages, and like 70% of them are "are you sure this is right? can't we change these 3 lines instead of adding those 300 lines or code?" and then the AI writes my 3 lines and maybe gives an extra point somewhere.

I mean i checked the logs, and most the stuff is like +### / -## lines, for a few commits, then -### +## lines and back and forward. Then after a week I write in 300 lines some code that the AI wrote in 5000 lines, and use the AI to make it 400 lines after some edge cases.

I'm working on backed tools and stuff, nothing complicated, gpt-5.5 xhigh

Is it me or the web version of https://chatgpt.com 5.5 Pro is much better than the Codex gpt-5.5 xhigh · Fast off ?

I have the same prompt, to figure out some haproxy/docker stuff, and codex keeps going in circles, but the web version thinks longer and gives me what I want.

Is there a way to make codex more like the web version? like some flag for extended thinking or whatnot?
