I mean, how often do we feel the same thing about the compiler?

What the compiler will do is highly predictable. What an LLM will produce considerably less so. That is the problem.
I don't feel this? When my code breaks, I'm more likely to get frustrated with myself.

The only time I've felt something akin to this with a compiler is when I was learning Rust. But that went away after a week or two.

Never? I can rely on the compiler to pretty much do the same thing every time. If I broke some rule, it points out where and what it is.
