I wish more had been written about the first assertion that using an LLM to code is like gambling and you're always hoping that just one more prompt will get you what you want.

It really captures how little control one has over the process, while simultaneously having the illusion of control.

I don't really believe that code is being made verbose to make more profits. There's probably some element of model providers not prioritizing concise code, but if conciseness while maintaining "quality" was possible is would give one model a sufficient edge over others that I suspect providers would do it.

We love the illusion of control, even though we don’t really have it. Life mostly just unfolds as we experience it
