Coding is a solved problem. Problems with the code - these are far from solved, in fact they're multiplying, but coding is definitely solved

What does "solving" coding mean?

    Maybe this was sarcasm, but it's a good point:

    "Coding" is solved in the same way that "writing English language" is solved by LLMs. Given ideas, AI can generate acceptable output. It's not writing the next "Ulysses," though, and it's definitely not coming up with authentically creative ideas.

    But the days of needing to learn esoteric syntax in order to write code are probably numbered.
