Carl from Antithesis recounts how he used his company's tool to discover and verify a long-standing SQLite WAL-Reset bug in just 15 minutes, while on a road trip. The bug, which had lurked since 2010, caused Tailscale six months of uptime issues. With generic assertions and a simple workload, Antithesis pinpointed the issue, and the fix was confirmed in a subsequent run.
