True determinism is rare, we often don't get it. That's what purely functional languages are all about and they're a minority.

We are trained on the other thing: unpredictable user interaction, parallelism, circuit-breaking, etc. That's the bread and butter of engineering (of all kinds, really, not just IT).

The non-deterministic intuition is baked into engineering much more than determinism is.

Fair point. But are we moving even further away from determinism with the current ways of working with AI?
