alt Hacker NewsLook 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!
The managers, aren’t on the hook for actually understanding and delivering the work, or fixing the system a week later when the vagaries of their wand-waving request come home to roost though.
