Self-Healing Codebases: Can AI Fix Bugs Autonomously?

Can AI truly maintain itself? In this episode, we explore the current state of self-healing codebases — from AutoPatch AI resolving bugs in 42 seconds to systems like Ouro Loop that autonomously diagnosed an architectural root cause. We break down where these systems work (localized bugs), where they fail (multi-file semantic issues), and the verification infrastructure needed to make them trustworthy. Plus: why the "vibe coding" era is giving way to bounded autonomy, and what the SelfHeal paper reveals about the 23 distinct fix patterns in agentic systems.
