> Anthropic needs to teach their systems to propose a fix too. Detecting a coding problem and proposing a patch is what we should expect from a company with supposedly the best coding LLM.

Of course it's trivial to have an LLM generate a fix, too. They probably do. It doesn't mean a project (1) wants to take an LLM-generated fix at all, or (2) can immediately commit an LLM-generated fix without review (which takes time).

Maybe not. And that’s totally fine.

But right now they’re not even offering one. They’re just putting the burden on the project without even trying to help fix it.

They have all the resources in the world, and they won’t even try.

And that’s of course assuming it’s a real bug, as we’ve seen a ton of them don’t seem to be. The last time we went through this, curl reported not only that a bunch of them weren’t bugs, but some of the bugs were listed previously on their mailing list, and that’s probably where the LLM got them.

So not only is it finding small bugs. And nonbugs. It’s reporting previously found bugs.

Pilling work on maintainers. Over and over again. To help? No. To make big numbers to show off for their IPO documents.

You sure about that?
