Yep. LLMs don’t really reason about code, which turns out to not be a problem for a lot of programming nowadays. I think devs don’t even realize that the substrate they build on requires this sort of reasoning.
This is probably why there’s such a divide when you try to talk about software dev online. One camp believes that it boils down to duct taping as many ready made components together all in pursuit of impact and business value. Another wants to really understand all the moving parts to ensure it doesn’t fall apart.
