alt Hacker News> We simply have better magic wands and more powerful spells now.
Wouldn't it be nice though if the incantation of the same spell would always do the same thing every time ? You see that's how my old wand and spells worked.

Look at it from the perspective of a manager above individual developers. Their instructions to those devs are already a series of non-deterministic incantations. They ask for things in English and get something back in Git a week later!
We've just pushed that indirection down a level from managers to ICs.
The ICs are shocked and surprised that this level of imprecision is allowed.
Their managers are not shocked at all, this is normal for them!
