Comment on Managing Unreliable Compilers

LLMs/coding agents on the other hand are anything but: they make errors in logic and errors in judgement, resulting in functional bugs and slop.
But they’re fast, and there are effectively infinitely many of them.

That's like saying you can hire effectively infinitely many human workers, because there are 8+ billion people on Earth.

Even though they're cheaper than humans ($200 gets you a month of passable work, rather than a single day), USD is still one of the limiting reagents that determines how much you can get out of them.
