What sort of bugs do you have in mind? From our perspective there are many kinds of bugs that inhibit UX (and AX) but they can be subtle issues like poorly designed flows. It's hard for an agent to notice or understand these but they are serious problems and we're trying to surface these more readily.

Something along the lines of

def start_of_week() do "Monday" end

OK thanks, agents definitely like partial implementations like that. When this impacts users we need to be able to observe that and see the bug, then track it back to its source. Weird logic bugs like this benefit from having a good debugger to untangle things and get to the root of the problem, especially when there is tons of code.
