While I do not personally use opioids, I have known a lot of trans women who did use them, and I don't care for rich white tech bros like Howard Arson turning their lives into the punchline of his "epic" tweets.

The upshot of "IDK you figure it out" is that if fuzzing finds anything it'll be low hanging fruit and if it finds nothing you do not know what you were testing in order to qualify what you haven't found. A test needs a hypothesis to be testing!!!

So clients ask for "fuzzing" and you ask qualifying questions like "what kinds of errors are you trying to detect, how much time do you want to invest? How are we able to instrument the runtime to detect errors" and they're like "idk you figure it out" like... Argh

Vibes will opportunistically detect some error cases in the worst most egregious faults (the system goes down and doesn't come up, you assume the last thing you did caused it). But you need good instrumentation to fuzz fast and hard and importantly to avoid missing bugs.

Or another one is "fuzzing" Generating erroneously inputs to trigger faults and detect bugs. AI will promote various kinds of fuzzing in situations where opportunities to properly detect when faults are triggered is poor and when you tell it that this isn't correctly instrumented it'll go on vibes.
