The LLM can be non-deterministic, but in the end, as long as we have compilers and integration tests, isn't it the same? You go from non-deterministic human interpretation of requirements and specs into a compiled, deterministic state machine. Now you have a non-deterministic coding agent doing the same and simply replacing the typing portion of that work.
So long as you supply the agent well-curated set of guidance, it should ultimately produce more consistent code with higher quality than if the same task were given to a team of random humans of varying skill and experience levels.
The key now is how much a team invests in writing the high quality guidance in the first place.
