That's just abstraction ? We're constantly dealing with legacy abstractions built 30-40+ years ago when we had fundamentally different constraints from today. Leaky abstractions are a fact of life and there's only so much you can reliably know about the stack.
My problem with learning with LLMs is how bad they are at the moment - people are betting big that they will eventually get better - but so far I'm only seeing scaling walls and negative cost/benefit footed by big tech $$$.
