Yes, the original phrase has a specific meaning. But in another context, "talk" is more important than the code.

In software development, code is in a real sense less important than the understanding and models that developers carry around in their heads. The code is, to use an unflattering metaphor, a kind of excrement of the process. It means nothing without a human interpreter, even if it has operational value. The model is never part of the implementation, because software apart from human observers is a purely syntactic construct, at best (even there, I would argue it isn't even that, as syntax belongs to the mind/language).

This has consequences for LLM use.
