I agree, it's very off-putting, and I totally understand that the amount of reports are overwhelming for maintainers of popular libraries.
> More reports means more fixes means more code changes means more bugs.
Sounds like we'll be riding a downward spiral for the foreseeable future?
It will be very interesting to see how stats like the ones you shared develop in the coming year(s).
From the article I find this a bit concerning:
> So: the Claude releases changed way more lines of code than historical ones, but didn't have more bugs. More code, same bugs. That's not what you'd expect if Claude were making things worse.
More code, same bugs, is a net negative, no? I mean unless it's strictly needed for the inherent complexity of the program. But I've seen a tokenizer written by Rob Pike and I've seen a tokenizer written by Claude.... they are not the same :D
