”I've never personally found a compiler bug.”

I remember the time I spent hours debugging a feature that worked on Solaris and Windows but failed to produce the right results on SGI. Turns out the SGI C++ compiler silently ignored the `throw` keyword! Just didn’t emit an opcode at all! Or maybe it wrote a NOP.

All I’m saying is, compilers aren’t perfect.

I agree about determinism though. And I mitigate that concern by prompting AI assistants to write code that solves a problem, instead of just asking for a new and potentially different answer every time I execute the app.

Compilers don't change output assemby based on what markdown you provide them via .claude.

Or what tone of voice in prompt you gave them. Or if Saturn is in Aries or Sagittarius.
