Even when given access to tools, AI agents can’t reliably debug software.

    As an engineer, I’m not looking forward to the entire generation(s?) of vibe coders who couldn’t explain what a byte is and the ways one might be stored on a system.

      Manual memory management is already relatively niche and not needed for most programming tasks

        While you’re not wrong, we still need to understand it at least well enough to avoid RCE and fix memory-related bugs

        Bytes is a way to store data. Its unrelated to memory management, even if its automatic.

          I wouldn’t say unrelated, but anyway what’s the broad term for what you are doing when you are being concerned with how bytes are stored then? Whatever that is, there’s a generation of coders already who aren’t doing so much of it
