> Is Coding → Prompting like Assembly → High Level Coding? […] I do not agree with this simile. Compilers are, for the most part, deterministic in a way that current AI tools are not.

I have a very different view of this, coming from C++. "Undefined behaviour". Compiler optimizations that only kick in if you align your chakras just right. Memory alignment and cache locality being completely vibe-based, relying on hopes and prayers that the CPU actually does what your mental model thinks it will.

In many ways it's EXACTLY like C++ -> Assembly. You never know what you ended up with until you run the benchmarks, just like you never know what your AI generated until you look at it!

"What do you mean? This worked in the debug build! Why does it crash in release?!"
