1Password’s FLAWED report , published on August 6, 2026, gives defenders a misleading picture of AI patching. Its headline says models produced clean fixes only 26% of the time.

The report risks making defenders less effective by discouraging them from using technology that could help them fix more vulnerabilities.

The cost of writing code collapsed, and the cost of reviewing, fixing and operating it is following, and I'm assuming it gets there. What's left of making software is finding out what people actually want, defining it precisely, and making it pleasant to use.
