AI writes bad code -> AI finds badly written code and highlights a bug -> AI told to fix code and introduces two more vulnerabilities...

And round the loop we go again!

Apparently "move fast and break things" doesn't apply to the corporate AI coding tool.

Some very angry developers because it's broken...

Almost gave up reading on this line.

It's a bollocks line to say "more of you get to go to university, so it's only fair you're stiffed with the debt for the rest of your working lives while we got it for free"... if your generation had a hand in pushing the baseline up so that a degree was the minimum expected level, then you've still created the root cause.

I suspect many would happily skip university / find alternatives if it still meant they'd have a reasonable shot at a good life.
