Especially in infra work, some changes are 2h of planning and coordination with other teams that result in a 2 line change. One could argue if it's really coding, but you can also look at it as an extreme case with a whole gradient to the pure "just output code for the obvious feature" type of work. So yeah, there will always be cases where the change is smaller and faster than explaining it in the first place.
