Summary provided by ChatGPT:

Effective software development hinges on acquiring domain knowledge, as programmers and their managers must understand the practical realities of the industry to avoid building ineffective or unusable software; without such comprehension, software may not serve its intended purpose, highlighting the non-negotiable need for domain expertise in programming.

This is a good take. All of programming is ultimately just tools to solve a problem, and if we don't have domain knowledge, we can't effectively solve the problems that we set out to in the first place.

Really hit the nail on the head about the "invisible decisions" which happen like the quality vs quantity with sails.
