Does humans being non-deterministic make coding solved? I'm not sure how this relates to the main point.

I'm also not sure what humans being non-deterministic even means here. The point is if you're comparing results with NFR, pure agentic coding falls short.

I'll spell it out... This guys is saying "LLMs are non-deterministic and therefore it's a bad idea to use them for coding", but humans are also non-deterministic and yet we somehow manage to get by with humans coding.

The fact is there's no way of coding in a deterministic way, so it's irrelevant that LLMs are non-deterministic.
