Catching AI-generated race conditions by simulating thousands of codebase timelines
cto_junior · x · 2026-09-18
Reacting to "tokenmaxxing" — letting AI write all your code — ctojunior shares the only reliable verification method found so far: build a small simulation of the system, a micro universe for the codebase, and simulate thousands of timelines to find the one where two innocent writes combine into a P0 bug. A practical answer for catching race conditions beyond AI-written tests.
