Did Semgrep Just Get a Lot More Interesting?

Author Name Thomas Ptacek@tqbf@tqbf Image by Annie Ruygt This bit by Geoffrey Huntley is super interesting to me and, despite calling out that LLM-driven development agents like Cursor have something like a 40% success rate at actually building anything that passes acceptance criteria, makes me think that more of the future of our field belongs to people who figure out how to use this weird bags of model weights than any of us are comfortable with. If I’d known I could do this, I probably wouldn’t have bounced from the Elixir project I had Cursor doing, where trying to get it to write simple unit tests got it all tangled up trying to make Mox work. With a bit more system prompting, you can get an LLM to try to generalize out from exceptions it fixes and generate unit test coverage for them.
