Non-Determinism Doesn't Matter
Summary
The article argues that non-determinism in LLM outputs isn't a fatal flaw for software development. Instead, it advocates turning uncertainty into a deterministic toolset by using context engineering, harnesses, and agent-based abstractions, effectively enabling reliable results with AI-driven automation. It also draws connections to DevOps practices and notes the value of tooling like Swamp for building production-grade agentic software systems.
