The proliferation of nondeterministically generated code is here to stay. Part of our response must be more dynamic, more comprehensive and more realistic workload simulation and testing frameworks.

I disagree. I think we're testing it, and we haven't seen the worst of it yet.

And I think it's less about non-deterministic code (the code is actually still deterministic) but more about this new-fangled tool out there that finally allows non-coders to generate something that looks like it works. And in many cases it does.

Like a movie set. Viewed from the right angle it looks just right. Peek behind the curtain and it's all wood, thinly painted, and it's usually easier to rebuild from scratch than to add a layer on top.

I just wanted to say how much I like that similie - I'm going to knick it for sure
