> It’s possible that some of this jump is the result of committers making more mistakes this year than they did last year, but I don’t think anyone who works on the project really believes that’s the main cause. Rather, it seems likely that PostgreSQL committers were about as conservative in 2026 as they were in preceding years, but a lot more of the mistakes they made were quickly found by LLMs.

This is pretty lazy. Especially considering the fact that later in the post author talks about how humans have to author the fixes, because the AI ones aren't up to snuff. It's not a stretch to think that more of the AI generated stuff that's not up to snuff just got through. And, focusing on bug fixes is going to yield more but fixes, regardless of the technologies involved.

I'm not saying that LLMs aren't helping, necessarily, but this isn't very convincing.
