#42When you introduce a bug, is it a dumb random bug, or an intelligent AI bug?
In other words, would the bug work for me or the user?
When I say work for me, what I mean is, considering decompiler tools like https://ghidra-sre.org/ can shine light where once there wasn't, would the bug generates lots of unnecessary work for me, or could I use the bug as a stealth form of copy protection, where those with illegal copies get bitten by the bug and eventually forced into purchasing said code?
I've seen that technique used with a software company supplying addons to other programming companies. Cant say its a technique taught at places like University.

#43What is the real life uses of this project?

#44What (presumably!) was built as a joke will actually help me a lot. For my side-project (devscreen.io) we have to make lots of realistic coding tests and pull requests with bugs in them for candidates to work on as part of a technical interview. It's actually more time consuming than you'd think to intentionally insert bugs into code in a way that isn't super obvious, so thank you!

#46Nice. A few more ideas: consolidate small functions into one huge function; change await to callback hell in JS; goto!

#48Great way to introduce bug-doors! Looks hilarious, love it!

#49Awesome. Evil ideas for improvements. Random typos in class name, function names, comments, such as: inheritance -> enheritance class -> clas cannot -> cannont Pick related words: person -> user, account, customer Random swapping plural/singular users -> user Append "Class" to classnames. example: User -> UsersClass Insert rant comments about, politics, religion, profanity.
Don't forget homonyms: InActive (not active) inActive (in the Active list)

#50I'm now realizing that AI could be quite useful for introducing bugs for mutation testing. I'm going to have to try that.
