It clearly does not result in chaos. This is an "I believe my lying eyes" situation, where I can just see that I can get an agent-y LLM codegen setup to generate a sane-looking working app in a language I'm not fluent in.

The thing everyone thinks about with LLM codegen is hallucination. The biggest problem for LLMs with hallucination is that there are no guardrails; it can just say whatever. But an execution environment provides a ground truth: code works or it doesn't, a handler path generates an exception or it doesn't, a lint rule either compiles and generates workable output or it doesn't.

> code works or it doesn't

It seems you're deliberately confusing "works" with "runs". They're different things.
