We’ve never had determinism in software. We just had the illusion of it. Here’s a fact that most people outside computer science don’t know: in 1936, Alan Turing proved that there is no way to build a program that can check whether another program will even finish running. This is the Halting Problem. A few years later, Rice’s theorem took this further — Henry Gordon Rice proved that it is mathematically impossible to build a tool that can verify any meaningful property of software in the gen...
