> you stop caring so much about implementation and start caring about the things that actually matter, the architecture, the performance profile, the scalability, the test coverage, the monitoring, the velocity of development
What architecture doesn’t care about implementation? What performance profile doesn’t care about the details of the implementation? What does the test coverage is about if it’s not the implementation? What are you monitoring? The specs or the implementation?…
Not caring about the implementation seems like not caring about the materials when building an house, with eyes stayed only glued to a novel’s like description of the house.
I think you misunderstand - it’s not that you shouldn’t be capable of evaluating and improving the implementation, but that it’s usually irrelevant. A very large majority of the time, “good enough” is fine. Fix things people complain about, and use the rest of your time to do more important things.
and this is why everything needs 32+GB of RAM and an assload of storage.
LLMs don't have human attention to detail, IME
