There's some irony; far from handling the details, LLMs are forcing programmers to adopt hyper-detailed, disciplined practices. They've finally cajoled software developers into writing documentation! Worth noting we've always had the capacity to implement these practices to improve HUMAN collaboration, but rarely bothered.

My experience writing in a professional setting is that people mostly don't read what I write, and the more effort I put into being thorough the less likely that it will be read.

That is an interesting observation. You're correct, the LLM inheritly reads and digests ever token you offer it.
