Episode Details

AI agents are excelling at finding "seams"—the overlooked friction points where individually sensible software components or decisions collide. Starting with a Home Assistant and Zigbee2MQTT outage where a hardcoded ten-restart watchdog limit and a retained MQTT message kept lights dark for hours, the discussion explores how Claude traced the root cause across separate codebases. It also examines major security findings uncovered the same way, including the Linux kernel's Copy Fail vulnerability, a 23-year-old NFS heap overflow, Ghostscript, and FFmpeg.
