Code is a matter of trust

Ties the whole talk together — we already trust compilers we don't understand, and the reason we won't ship agent code unread is that the systems underneath lack the same rigidity.

in here, I return a zero value every single time. The compiler and the tooling can do a lot of work for us. And we're already used to this in our codebases. We many of us probably don't know how compilers work under the hood, and we trust them. Code is a matter of trust. The reason that we don't use ML code blindly is because we don't trust it yet, cuz the systems underneath them don't have enough rigidity. One more thing. But before I tell you all to go write a bunch of ML code, cuz I've been there and I can tell you what someone tell me if I said, "Hey, use this new programming language. It's going to solve all your problems." It's just going to become come with a whole slew of new problems.
