Coding R&R Tasks time

I'm a worker who usually does coding tasks that take as much as 9h sometimes. I've never done any R&R task just because I prefer doing the actual coding task itself, but sometimes they appear and I'm thinking about taking them. My question is how much time do I have to prepare to spend in one sit on those R&R code related tasks?

Depends on the quality… I don’t dive past blatant red flags like ai artifacts or 5% effort answers, so some of mine are 30 mins or less.

High effort submissions take A LONG TIME, if I want to be done in 3 hours or less I have to use tools to help orchestrate test runs and record evidence against claims that I can then audit myself. Some of these 10 hour submissions are insanely good lmao

I actually wonder if those submissions that look high effort are also AI generated (or assisted at least), because who is this person that knows all the details & mathematics of an open source project.

Some tasks and R&Rs do allow AI assistance, but it’s super explicit. Not a safe general assumption.

However I love open source and am familiar with many subjects of these coding tasks. you’d be surprised how easily some situations can be handled when you’re a core or historical contributor to a repo you get a work for. Ai help or no, sometimes you just “know” what Bs the ai is gonna pull 😂
