I'd like to add a practical observation, even assuming much more capable AI in the future: not all failures are due to model limitations, sometimes it's about external [world] changes.

For instance, I used Next.js to build a simple login page with Google auth. It worked great, even though I only had basic knowledge of Node.js and a bit of React.

Then I tried adding a database layer using Prisma to persist users. That's where things broke. The integration didn't work, seemingly due to recent versions in Prisma or subtle breaking updates. I found similar issues discussed on GitHub and Reddit, but solving them required shifting into full manual debugging mode.

My takeaway: even with improved models, fast-moving frameworks and toolchains can break workflows in ways that LLMs/ML (at least today) can't reason through or fix reliably. It's not always about missing domain knowledge, it's that the moving parts aren't in sync with the model yet.
