No, they're pointing out that it's a little silly to expect everyone to understand each and every later of abstraction fully before deploying code.

I said you need to understand what the code you wrote (as in, LOC that git blame will blame on you) does. Not that you need to fully understand what the code it calls does. It should be pretty obvious from context that I'm referring to copy-pasting code from stack overflow or an LLM or whatever without knowing what it does.
