We are in the business of automation, this is also automation. What good is doing the manual work if automation provides good enough results. I increasingly consider the code an implementation detail and spend most of my thinking one abstraction level higher. It's not always there yet but it's really often good enough to great, given the right oversight.

Code is not just an implementation detail, I wish people would knock it off with that idea

It would be like saying "roofs are just an implementation detail of building a house". Fine, but you build the roof wrong your house is going to suck

I'm tasking a contractor to lay the roof tiles and just give them my specifications. How they lay the tiles, I don't care, as long as it passes inspection afterwards and conforms to my spec.
