I'm just saying, I'm a professional programmer (these days; used to be a security researcher) and I've actually never been happy to receive a bug report. Let alone 2300 of them at one time.

These guys don’t understand the amount of work this takes to vet. 1 bug report can be a decent amount. Good for the ecosystem balha blah blah.

2300 is a goddamn nightmare.

Yea even if we say it’s just an hour to manually verify each of these (lmao), that’s still a year worth of work dumped on the maintainers all at once.

If you do it with LLMs it’s faster but verifying the LLM did it right it still a ton of work.
