I take it you listen to Casey Muratori's talks? He talks about this a lot.

I mean I don't disagree, but there's still a difference in the kind of disconnect you get. The disconnect is harmful in the high-level language case, but it's dangerous and irresponsible with vibe coding/LLMs.

Also, I would argue that a good enough understanding of computer architecture and a mental model of a process' memory layout gets you there, without knowing how to write assembly. That's still a mental model.
