I agree LLMs shouldn't be "compilers" because that implies abstracting away all decisions embedded in the code. Code is structured decisions and we will always want access and control over those decisions. We might not care about many of those decisions, but some of those we absolutely do. Some might be architectural, some might be we want the button to always be red.

This is why I think the better goal is an abstraction layer that differentiates human decisions from default (LLM) decisions. A sweeping "compiler" locks humans out of the decision making process.
