Nicely put.

There's this mistake Engineers make when using LLMs and loudly proclaiming its coming for their jobs / is magic... you have a lot of knowledge, experience and skill implicitly that allows for you to get the LLM to produce what you want.

Without it... you produce crappy stuff that is inevitably going to get mangled and crushed. As we are seeing with Vibe code projects created by people with no exposure to proper Software Engineering.
