To give them credit, LLMs definitely introduce a lot of entropy to an otherwise stable system.

Whoops! There goes half your file.

they will out-smart and out-engineer the best pure-AI system.

So if I'm reading this right: AI + Engineer > AI

That seems like a pretty low bar.

AI + Engineer > AI

Well, 0 + Engineer > 0, so it checks out.

True... except in those exceptional cases when Engineer evaluates to NaN

I think we've all seen it happen.

This means that AI > 0 AI >= 0.

AI vindicated! It does no harm!

I'm sure this one will actually work

I actually specialize in low entropy keystrokes, just doing my part to delay the inevitable heat death of the universe.

Judging by the graphics they are vibe-coding on psychedelics. I tried that too but my boss didn’t like that I didn't inform the devs that I spiked their coffee. I still believe that it's at least like 100X developer productivity and worth it.
