None of this is excluded by my statement. And arguably someone else can draw a line in the sand and say most of this is overthinking somehow and you should let the machine worry about it.


I would love to let the computer do the investigative work for me, but I have to double check it, and there's not much mental energy and time saved (if you care about work quality). When I use `pgrep` to check if a process is running, I don't have to inspect the kernel memory to see if it's really there.

It's very much faster, cognitively, to just understand the project and master the tooling. Then it just becomes routine, like playing a short piano piece for the 100th time.
