AI coding tools are pretty good at finding bugs and make it easier and faster to fix them.

Importantly, security vulnerabilities in new releases seem to stay roughly the same and the change to which bugs count as CVEs was around version 6.8 already.

As somebody who is quite critical of AI, I will say, it is a fantastic tool for finding bugs early. I advise getting all your changes reviewed by a decent LLM before you push them. It often finds edge cases I forgot in my testing
