alt Hacker News> If we consider the prompts and LLM inputs to be the new source code, I want to see some assurance we get the same results every time.
Give a spec to a designer or developer. Do you get the same result every time?
I’m going to guess no. The results can vary wildly depending on the person.
The code generated by LLMs will still be deterministic. What is different is the product team tools to create that product.
At a high level, does using LLMs to do all or most of the coding ultimately help the business?
This comparison holds up to me only in the long standing debate "LLMs as the new engineer", not "LLMs as a new programming language" (like here).
I think there are important distinctions there, predictably one of them.
