We have a voting algorithm that we use, but we're not at the level of confidential disclosure if we proceed further in this discussion. There's lots of research out there into unbiased voting algorithms for consensus systems.

You conveniently decided not to answer my question about quality of the solutions to vote on (ranking FizzBuzz memorization).

To me, our discussion shows that what you presented as a simple thing is not simple at all, even voting is complex, and actually getting a good result is so hard it warrants omitting answer altogether.

  • Yeah, you've got unrealistic expectations if you expect me to divulge my company's confidential IP in a HN comment.

    • I had no expectations at all, I just asked questions, expecting answers. At the very beginning the tone of your comment, as I read it, was "agentic coding is nothing but simple, look they vote." Now answers to simple but important questions are "confidential IP."

      Okay then, agentic coding is nothing but complex task requiring knowledge of unbiased voting (what is this thing really?) and, apparently, use of necessarily heavy test suite and/or theorem provers.
