The difference between LLM and a very junior programmer: junior programmer will learn and change, LLM won't change! The more instructions you put in the prompt, the more will be forgotten and the more it will bounce back to the "general world-wide average". And on next prompt you must start all over again... Not so with junior programmers ...

"What We Found

We determined that the probable cause of this accident was the in-flight separation of the left MED plug due to Boeing’s failure to provide adequate training, guidance, and oversight necessary to ensure that manufacturing personnel could consistently and correctly comply with its parts removal process, which was intended to document and ensure that the securing bolts and hardware that were removed to facilitate rework during the manufacturing process were properly reinstalled. Contributing to the accident was the FAA’s ineffective compliance enforcement surveillance and audit planning activities, which failed to adequately identify and ensure that Boeing addressed the repetitive and systemic nonconformance issues associated with its parts removal process."
