Turns out, English is pretty bad for creating deterministic software. If you are vibe coding, you either are happy with the randomness generated by the LLMs or you enter a loop to try to generate a deterministic output, in which case using a programming language could have been easier.

That's what I don't understand about AI coding fans. Instead of using a language that was designed to produce executable code, they insert another translation stage with a much murkier and fuzzier language. So you have to learn a completely new interface that is less fit for the task for the benefit of uncertain outcomes. And woe betide you if you step outside the most mainstream of mainstreams, where there's not an overabundance of training data.

It's because the AI coding fans already don't know programming languages, so they're learning a new language/interface either way.

That, and their software doesn't actually have any users, I find.
