It mostly did an amazing job in a short period of time.
EDIT: Of course I get downvoted for saying this. HN isn't interested in reality any more.
I suspect that rather many of us are simply just tired of Claude and friends getting shoehorned into any conversation about programming at this point. It is about as fun as the Rust Brigade entering any discussion about C. It adds nothing new to the discussion and it is frankly tiring since we pretty much at any time have a handful of conversations on the front page already covering "AI" topics anyway (counting four at the time of writing this).
I thought automation would be interesting to HN - given the context and the fact it was not used.
Pretty sure that's exactly what LLMs in coding harnesses are.
Even when they implement LLMs.
I know ChatGPT seems like it's non-deterministic - but that just a user preference.
The only real issue is if you have many people on the same server, the GPU contention can be non-deterministic in rare cases.
LLMs can be deterministic if you need them to be - it's just that most people prefer the human-like interface.
