The hope is that LLMs can scan my code every day or something like that. If I make a mistake and get it past code review, the LLM will still find it and it gets fixed right away. (better yet, make LLM an automatic reviewer on everything).
Many of the bugs we are finding in projects like curl are 20 years old - once they are fixed they are fixed and so hopefully we get all those 1-20 year old problems fixed and future scans only find new problems which is itself a big improvement in the rate. I agree that we will never reach a point where there are no bugs introduced, but we should strive to fix them faster.
