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"
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.
