    Excellent post. People always defend agentic/LLM-driven development by saying, "Well it's good enough", or "It works most of the time."

    That may be tolerable for some user-facing app. But what if we start normalizing failures in the libraries, the infrastructure, and the compilers? Everything descends into a mess of unreliability, and that slows EVERYTHING and EVERYONE down.
