While I agree this is true of coding, there are other domains and paradigms in which the loop is more involved than a bash loop.

Realizing this fact explains:

1. why software development is first to get disrupted by AI

2. other domains that are easily loopable like contract review are also quite easy to deploy AI into, so you get all these "AI for Law" running around doing essentially the same thing

3. domains that are not easily loopable are much harder to figure out leading people to believe AI can't be useful, when in fact it's a failure of the application layer
