Ooof!

Urban legend at a company I worked at was that years ago a well meaning developer added a nullptr check to fix a rare crash case in one of the applications.

Turns out the crash was all that stood in the way of another undiscovered bug that effectively did rm -rf /* when triggered.

To say that customers were unamused might be a charming understatement.

The thought that these lash ups of nested LLMs and under the covers shell commands, AKA coding assistants, can be generating so many statistically probable code changes in production systems that they are un-reviewable by competent developers is frankly terrifying.
