@jackemled I wrote about this in https://frederikbraun.de/feels-and-llms.html. I hate it so much, but this isn’t luck. You can crank out bugs in the hundreds if you know how. :(

@freddy It's a statistical model. You can weight it in your favor, but luck is always the most important variable. Those hundreds of bugs are mostly nothing or are impossible to trigger, but when you're rolling a bag of dice for hours, of course they'll all eventually land on the same number at once & give you an actual important bug. There's always a better way to find all of the same possible bugs without the gambling, then test them automatically to find the ones that are real.
