We wanted to publish this ASAP since people are talking about this bug today. In a follow-up, we will show how our automated causality analysis could have saved Tailscale and SQLite from 6 months of root cause analysis. Stay tuned!

Worst ad I’ve ever read.

Wow, with prior knowledge of a bug our tool found it too!

Great work pal, I’m sure the phone is gonna ring off the hook.

wwilson•15m ago
As the post (and linked repo) pretty clearly indicate, zero info about the existence of the bug went into this work.

Oh btw, we also found some other ones… Stay tuned!

grebc•13m ago
So you found this before SQLite published the fix?
carlsverre•14m ago
Carl (author) here. This is a poor reading of the blog post. Notably, I built a general-purpose workload that simply exercises the write/checkpoint machinery. The exact same workload we use to break all kinds of transactional systems. This generic workload found the bug without any special knowledge of the bug, due to how Antithesis works.
grebc•9m ago
I read your ad.

It states you replicated the bug once the SQLite team fixed it, and published it.

Not sure what’s difficult about replicating behaviour when it’s spelled out for you.

Hi! I'm the author and the person who was on a road trip when I decided to do this experiment back in July. I'm super excited to finally get the blog post out, and even better, alongside a post describing the root cause process that went into the project. You can read about Tailscale's story here: https://tailscale.com/blog/sqlite-wal-reset-bug

I'm only sad that I didn't put SQLite under test earlier in the year, or I would have found this issue right away. If you look at the workload[1], you can see how simple it is. Exactly the same kind of workload we write every day to help our customers find bugs.

If you have any questions about our process or how debugging with Antithesis works, please let me know! Thanks for reading!

I went clicking through to see if I could find the prompt they fed the AI to locate the issue / write the test suite.

I couldn't find it, so its unclear if the prompt was completely "make a test suite" or was lead towards finding it in the first place, which wouldn't be a fair test.

The closest I mention of the prompt I could find was:

> Then I asked it to write a simple workload which exercised the WAL insert and checkpoint code. Notably, this is a completely generic workload.

With a skeptical lens, unclear.
