I despise the term higher level, probably because I'm a software engineer. High level in software engineering is used to describe the most big picture, abstracted detail view of a design. Deep dive or low level is getting into the nitty gritty. I understand that they mean "discussions at a higher knowledge floor" but just wanted to air my grievance.

Huh? Yes, I am neurodivergent. Why'd you ask?

It's because low level in terms of software engineering is like the foundation of a building, while high level in terms of the skill required to do something is like the top of a podium.
