Now imagine working on a 10+ years old codebase that 100s of developer hands have gone over. And several dependencies not being possible to even run locally because of being so out of date. Why work on that in the first place? Sometimes it pays really well.

I would absolutely not be comfortable trusting current AI to work on this sort of codebase and make meaningful improvements

Not AI, but we were talking about a debugger specifically.
