Good engineering? You want automated steps to be repeatable so you know your tweak to the previous conversation have the effect you desire. Though using an AI for coding is probably closer in spirit the the art of writing code than the engineering of writing code and art is pretty much unrepeatable by definition.

Fair enough. Use the respective API or Google Gemini which will let you set temperature to zero resulting in deterministic output barring FP errors accumulating when paired with non-standard GPU/TPU configurations. Likely not to differ by much in the vast majority of cases though.
