Not high level, you need to know exactly how it’s done. If you don’t at the start, then you will by the time you arrive at the working commit.

The exception (in that you must learn something) is in design, though. If you ask AI to add something to your API, and do it repeatedly, you will end up with a very poorly designed API, with separate endpoints for updating separate fields in the same record, etc, which will happily work fine.

Unless you knew what to do from the start, you’re going to make a lot of tech debt.
