From the readme, the "mindless" refers to the fact that "fully-specified" coding using dependent types can actually simplify the task of implementing complex algorithms, while providing full verification of the resulting (extracted) code.
Worth skipping down to the summary and then reading through the details if you're curious about the nitty-gritty.
