There is a well known video among commercial pilots called "Children of the Magenta Line".
The magenta line refers to a line on the display you can just "follow" around that is calculated by the computer.
The video is all about how young pilots are just following around the magenta line and not having the "big picture" of what is going on in their heads.

Due the the desired altitude being set at zero, the magenta line the pilot flying was aiming for was... well, set to 0ft. I can see a longer-than-usual roll-out, but not going rate positive when you are well past V2 and hitting amber runway lights is an unforgivable mistake.
