This rings hollow to me.

When my code compiles in the evening, it also compiles the next morning. When my code stops compiling, usually I can track the issue in the way my build changed.

Sure, my laptop may die while I'm working and so the second compilation may not end because of that, but that's not really comparable to a LLM giving me three different answers when given the same prompt three times. Saying that nothing is deterministic buries the distinction between these two behaviours.

Deterministic tools is something the developper community has worked very hard for in the past, and it's sad to see a new tool giving none of it.
