Ah, we've hit the rock bottom of arguments: there's some unspecified ideal LLM model that is 100% deterministic that will definitely 100% do the same thing every time.

Wow. It can do a web search. And that is useful in the context of programming how? Or in any context? The question is about the result of an action . Given the same problem statement in the same codebase it will produce wildly different re

Have you run the "same prompting technique" on the same problem in the same code base and got the same result all the time? I also have prompting techniques that work better than other magical incantations. They do also fail often

It says "of course you're right" and may or may not refactor/fix/rewrite the issue correctly. More often than not it doesn't or misses some detail. So you tell it again, "of course you are right", and

Table saws and cars are deterministic. Once uou learn how to use them, the experience is repeatable. The various magic incantations that LLMs require cannot be learned or repeated. Whatever the "just one more prompt bro" du jour y

Nesting is the bee's knees. I still don't understand what layering is, and why you would use it.

erm, no? React has painted itself into a usability and optimisation nightmare corner by insisting that components are the most granular level of resctivity. That's why they need 20 different hooks to do anything. You want signals in th
