1. he's describing a manual version of Spec-Kit / OpenSpec / BMAD?

2. Thinks Markdown is... somehow different from normal text or other markup languages?

3. Doesn't seem to understand that LLMs are not deterministic?

1. he is saying md/english is the new source code.. 2. yes - it is different that is geared towards english and very well supported by LLMs that is why it is being used in memory and instructions 3. llms are deterministic enough to translate adequately described specs into working system, the idea here is reason in md for core flow etc, and then verify with test cases

this not perfect but he is describing a real trend, so listen with open mind.

Well summarized, but I believe this is sadly why we're seeing a decline in software quality all over. And if people keep following this trend for libraries and core utilities... yikes things will get bad.

		Yeah but keep in mind this tech only started to work last year? People still figuring it out, and I'm sure we will have more robust tooling, processes around it down the road. The upside is that we are able to deploy more cognitive power into problems, security, edge cases, something that uses be to scarce. A lot of the people feeling insecure mainly because they benefited from that scarcity. But we will have more software deployed, I'd argue better, and larger, and this means the pie of software is getting bigger, the market is getting larger, deeper into the economy.
