Dev simulates a million ops to find race conditions with LLMs, hits usage limits instead
cto_junior · x · 2026-09-18
A developer shares a practical workflow: running a static correctness pass with models like astra/fable on a narrow codepath. After a million+ simulated operations, it surfaced 3 race conditions — but also hit usage limits 12 times. Key caveat: the models only check where you point them; asking "what happens if these two ops run together" is still on you.
