Too true. This is why Rudin's little book, Principles of Mathematical Analysis, normally takes a whole year to cover: one has to work through the proof line by line in order gain enough understanding to do the exercises. Programming gives you the false sense of ease with leaky "interfaces" and quantum-entangled "decoupling". LOL, one microservice in one separate git repo, and tested with mocks and Gherkin syntax BDD. Just LOL, I call this hyperreal programming. With "spec-driven" AI generated code that is reviewed and tested by AI, it is certain that "the programming did not take place". In this "brave new world", "the map has overcome the territory", and "the twelfth camel" was never returned. Programmers certainly don't need "the mythical man-ager" to go delulu and full ouroboros, i.e. "there is no big Other".
