I think you're taking a metaphor a bit too literally.


No, it's perfectly apt. One comment is stating that using LLMs allows them to gloss over the details. The responding comment is saying that glossing over details is not a great idea, actually. I think that statement holds up very well on both sides of the analogy. You can get away with glossing over certain details when building a little shed or a throwaway python script. If you're building a skyscraper or a full-fledged application being used in the real world by thousands or millions of people, those details being glossed over are the foundation of your entire architecture, will influence every other part of the decision-making process, and will cause everything to crumble if handled carelessly.
