If you get the architecture wrong, everyone complains. If you get it right, nobody notices it's there.

Doesnt this apply with the hysteria of LLMs?

The question being - are LLMs 'good' at interpreting and making choices/decisions about data structures and relationships?

I do not write code for a living but I studied comp sci. My impression was always that the good software engineers did not worry about the code, not nearly as much as the data structures and so on.
