we automated finding bugs. then we automated submitting bugs. now we're automating rejecting submissions. at no point did anyone automate fixing the bugs.

Be careful for what you wish.

Someone automated rewriting Bun in Rust, allegedly fixing the bugs.

I actually just got a PR from my boss's AI agent. It identified the wrong problem (surface level), and corrected it by corrupting the document data, but making it no longer throw an exception.

Take that clankers

Fixing bugs has been automated by claude code and other tools for a while. We've merged a bunch of bug-fix PRs by claude, some of which were found by other bots.
