Having a prompt specific enough to resolve all the coin flips is just writing the code yourself

There is a hundred-mile gap between those two places. "Write a register-based VM with a zig-style flat AST" is a lot less work than actually writing it. That's the kind of direction it needs.

Even that prompt leaves a lot of coins to be flipped...

loool. I tried to find good words what icked me with the sentence, but you got it on point.

I mean this sentence is just wrong. Coin Flips are 50/50 and I assume most decisions are not 50/50 and coding agents dont use high temperature so they don’t even very so much anymore. This sentence is a sentence to me that discredits a whole article because it’s just wrong.

Also practically it’s not a good way of seeing it. It would aim for the average solution of the problem which might not what you need, but its not a coin flip.

Idk these kind of sentences just stink to me.
