The title is a reference back to "Is Claude Code a Compiler?" by the same author, linked from the first sentence: https://commaok.xyz/ai/is-claude-a-compiler/

And then claim is attributed right there:

> The hands-down highlight was the talk by Erik Schluntz: Vibe coding in prod.

> Among other things, he drew an analogy between LLMs and compilers.

Didn't read the article because the conclusion is obvoius enough to me as is, never heard of Erik Schluntz before, and drawing an analogy between two things means very little anyway. "this bike is about as heavy as that table" doesn't require the rebuttal that bikes aren't tables, for example.

so far I mostly saw it spewed forth on HN
