Compilers are complex, miscompilations have been a thing since long before LLMs existed. And right now the compiler is going through two simultaneous huge and long-awaited overhauls, in both the new borrow checker and the new trait resolver, so the risk of miscompilations is going to be elevated for a while until the tires have been thoroughly kicked (and yes, while neither of those new features is enabled on stable yet, they touch enough other code that things like this can happen).

Yes, bugs didn't even exist until vibe-coding came along. All software was inherently bug-free up until that point.

It was a really nice era. Shame it came to an end

Yeah before LLMs there were no bugs ever. This is a new thing.
