Unquestioned Assumptions Kill Systems: Why DevOps Needs AI-Driven Adversarial Review

The most expensive software failures in history weren't caused by unforeseen complexity, but by unvalidated assumptions that humans stopped questioning. From Y2K's two-digit years to Ariane 5's integer overflow and Knight Capital's dormant code, these catastrophes demonstrate how AI-driven adversarial review embedded in DevOps toolchains could have prevented billions in losses. This represents a fundamental shift: not AI writing code, but AI relentlessly asking the questions humans no longer do.
