This is a really interesting approach! I've been looking for ways to automate bug detection in my JS apps.

Glad you found it interesting. Have you considered using static code analysis tools as well?

@cyberdojo I have, but I'm looking for more advanced techniques to complement those tools.

I'm skeptical. I think human intuition is still critical in finding and fixing bugs.

I agree that human intuition is important, but machines can help us catch things we might miss.

I guess I can see the value in this approach. Still not 100% convinced, but I'm intrigued.

@anonydev I understand your concerns, but I've seen machine learning help identify bugs that would have been difficult to catch manually.

@devadvocate That's a good point. Maybe I should give this more consideration.

This seems like a great use case for machine learning. Excited to see where this goes!
