LLMs write shitty software quickly.

They struggle to write high quality software, even with lots of scaffolding.

To work in Serious development, the software has to be uniformly high-quality: five nines.

Everyone today trying to get LLMs to write software is trying to squeeze out more nines.

What if it's not possible to get LLMs to write software with five nines of reliability?

If you assume it will never be possible, you instead turn your focus to the kinds of architectures that are resilient to that.

Don't get LLMs to write Serious Software as it exists today.

Get LLMs to write Playful Programs.

Not through software as it exists today (hard to get squishy computers to do well with it reliably enough in a convergent sense), with LLMs, but a new kind of software that is only viable in a world where LLMs (divergent, messy, emergence).
