In every case up until now, a jump in abstraction has moved us forwards in ease of understanding the underlying artifact at a conceptual, human level. High level languages are effectively runnable documentation.

It's possible to say that LLMs producing code may be the same category of thing, but the non-determinism and ephemerality of it all makes it difficult to imagine.

If my experience having to manually unf*ck “production” slop written by sweatshop tier offshore told to go wild with a Claude subscription is any indication then we are a LONG way off from any of that BS.

My job is safe because I’m the only person at the company that actually understands what the actual code is doing and I’m the one that gets the calls at 2am and weekends.

Why not just generate object code for the target mschine directly?
