I think the difference between electrical work and software work is with electrical a lot of those standards don’t really change from year to year outside of some code updates. Wiring a wall socket or moving a socket around has been pretty much solved for decades. maybe a different kind of outlet that is a little more safe or some exception about sockets near a sink.

Versus software I were there’s hundreds of different outlets hundreds of different wires tens of different storage mechanisms. Now if the LLM is even slightly unsure, it will hallucinate leading to a mess when things go wrong that the user doesn’t know how to fix

Then an actual expert will have to come in and try to understand what went wrong, which adds additional time than if it was just built right the first time
