Promotion into management isn't so different. They still experience similar thrashing and have to learn or be fired.
My point was not only that so much human learning happens out-of-band, but that it has to be fundamentally different from how an LLM builds context. I've never seen an LLM overcome the thrashing on its own. There's never any "lightbulb moment".
