Also OMG I've just read your bio - I saw and wondered what someone more from the software side (rather than philsophy) would say: https://open.substack.com/pub/mcauldronism/p/the-maintenance...

Seems like the same idea as treating your LLM as a compiler.

When you write code in Rust and user your compiler to produce an x86 binary, you don't maintain the binary. If you want to make a change, you toss away the old binary, change your Rust code, and recompile.
