AI Doesn’t Work Like You Think. Period. ft. Vinayak Hegde
EPISODE NOTES
Deterministic. Probabilistic. Two very different worlds. For decades, software engineering lived by one rule: do A, B, and C - get D. Every time. No surprises. But Vinayak Hegde points out that LLMs have fundamentally broken that contract. Do A, B, and C with AI - and the output is different every single time. It's not a bug, it's a paradigm shift. One that the entire discipline of software engineering hasn't fully reckoned with yet. Because here's the thing: the old guardrails don't work here. You need human-in-the-loop systems, new mitigation frameworks, better feedback loops. The whole engineering mindset has to evolve to accommodate probabilistic outputs. Are we building the right foundations for that future, or just patching over the unpredictability? 🤔 What's your take? Drop …
