Those problems had been solved in the 1970s and don't need LLMs. One solution is called 'copy-paste', another 'software libraries/components' ;)

Neither really solved the problem, reality is too nuanced, AI fills the gap.
Not sure if a non-deterministic copy-paste is really filling a gap ;)
But yeah, there are areas in software development where AI assistence is actually useful, I just see code-generation as one of the less useful areas, since tbh this isn't a problem that needs urgent solving. IMHO LLMs are much more useful for passively analyzing/bugscanning code bases (or data in general).
Absolutely, I give my agents access to MCP/API and they can check logs and setup checks for potential problems and whatever else
