Also, give the same programming task to 2 devs and you end up with 2 different solutions. Heck, have the same dev do the same thing twice and you will have 2 different ones.
Determinism seems like this big gotcha, but in it self, is it really?

"Do the same thing" I need to be pedantic here because if they do the same thing, the exact same solution will be produced.
The compiler needs to guarantee that across multiple systems. How would QA know they're testing the version that is staged to be pushed to prod if you can't guarantee it's the same ?
