Exactly. Personally, you can spend as much time as you can, but for everybody
else don't assume that they have more than 15 minutes and you'll get the answer
why things are not moving, not fixed etc.

Knowing that you have only 15 minutes, you'd start to think differently. First,
you'd try grepping on "class Copy" and "def Copy", then trying to choose another
entrypoint, like knowing that it is somehow injected into Environment,
start with
API docs for Environment. At the very end of your 15 minutes you start to think
"what can I do know so that the next person who approaches this issue would
not have to start from scratch and get to the same position as I am?"
