Notes from the BugBash 2026 keynote by Will Wilson, co-founder of Antithesis, titled 'We won, what now?'. Wilson argues that AI-driven software generation has unexpectedly made software correctness mainstream, explained through Amdahl's law: as AI handles coding, testing and verification become the bottleneck. Using an extended analogy of a niche band going mainstream, he frames the software reliability community's moment as a transition from elite cult to broad adoption. He urges the community not to feel resentful but to embrace teaching others, while the author remains skeptical about whether meaningful knowledge transfer will actually scale.
