In your blog post: “Most people do not care to find the truth, they care about what pumps their bags”

in your HN comment: “I agree with this comment, but if I wrote more like this my blog post would get less traction.”

Seems like you also not care about the truth.

This is bait. The comment and the blog post say mostly the same thing, the debate is around the subtle edges.

It's not a "compiler," it's a "probabilistic code synthesizer guided by your constraints"

The latter is technically more specific and correct than the former, but it's 7 words instead of 1. And the word compiler is understood to encompass the latter, even if most compilers aren't that. They are both "a tool in a workflow"

He cares for the truth by making it accessible to more people.
