> APIs and abstractions make a lot of this quite accessible (e.g. AWS, tensorflow etc.), yes these are "magical" APIs, but you could make the same argument regarding a C compiler going to binary, all the way down to logic gates and electrical pulses

That's a really interesting analogy, I'm wondering what other think about it?

And does it really make a difference? I don't understand compilers, but it still took me a long time to understand how to write correct input for a compiler, and debug the output.
