There was a time when compiled languages compiled into a somewhat predictable finite sequence of machine instruction, and thus one might use them but still understand everything happening. I think that is less true of modern web frameworks.
You probably didn't reach for disassembly dumps of some half-assed mid-90s C++ compiler to figure out why it's spewing 37 screens of error messages on some innocent-looking STL thing. Or maybe you did! But I'm not convinced 'rate of encounter with annoyingly incomprehensible magic' has really changed all that much since then.
