Blinded agents compare formal verification vs code review: empirical results are in, and they're striking
rickasaurus · x · 2026-10-24
- Doug (@0xdoug) reports his team ran a blinded-agent comparison of formal verification against traditional code review, claiming empirical data now backs the approach.
- His take: agent-driven formal verification isn't a panacea, 'but it's damn close' — with results he teases as surprising. Details are in the original thread.
- The attached meme (a 'fix everything easily' switch surrounded by objections) mocks the industry's resistance to deceptively simple solutions.
