If you have a big rock (a software project), there's quite a difference between pushing it uphill (LLM usage) and hauling it up with a winch (traditional tooling and methods).

People are claiming that it takes time to build the muscles and train the correct footing to push, while I'm here learning mechanical theory and drawing up levers. If one managed to push the rock for one meter, he comes clamoring, ignoring the many who was injured by doing so, saying that one day he will be able to pick the rock up and throw it at the moon.
