An AI Coding Agent Hid an Infinite Recursion Bug in Our React App (acusti.ca) 3 points by acusti 7mo ago ↗ HN
[–] acusti 7mo ago ↗ A debugging deep-dive into how an AI-assisted refactor removed a comment guarding against infinite recursion, and how React 19’s `<Activity>` component masked the bug by pre-rendering an infinite tree in memory for minutes before crashing. [–] zupo 7mo ago ↗ This is a good reminder that ‘AI pair programmers’ can create subtle bugs that are hard to spot.
