I could not disagree more.

I can't even fathom how someone can say this with a straight face. Judging by the absolute garbage (architecture-wise) that the frontier models put out, I pity anyone taken in by this sort of thinking. They regularly tie themselves in knots and dig deeper holes for themselves without my intervention.

Software is exact; its maths. We would not tolerate a machine that operates on the basis proving/applying theorems right like 60% of the time. How we think this is suddenly acceptable in software engineering baffles me. CVEs can kill people, bad software can cause severe harms

But maybe I should not be on here arguing about this. I should be out there working on how to profit off such fundamental misunderstandings.

the model does not make the architecture decisions, you make the architecture decisions. you define what success is, including performance characteristics. fuzzing and property based testing ensure correctness. what does it matter what the code looks like if it the machine you've created fulfills the criteria you define?
