Coding has been solved, but for who? Only for those cowboys who create POCs and get big bonuses. The 'product' they make is largely irrelevant. Sure, they can make it faster and claim to be masters of AI. Again, bigly bonuses, because now the incentives are driven by mandates from C-suite/VPs who are desperate to claim successfully using AI. There is very very little that can be realistically solved with AI. People have tried and the first thing they do is replace perfectly working internal search tools with AI or AI chatbots. Think about something like your people portal, for a large company, this would be thousands of document. The AI driven search portals are a million times worse than the earlier full-text-search engines that are usually pretty accurate. After that, they will be lots of dashboards generated for executives. Its as if execs have any clue about the business, they know nothing about the business and now they get thousands of dashboards tracking millions of meaningless metrics.

AI is an enshittification accelerator. And the enshittifiers (individually as people and collectively as companies run by scumbags) are richly rewarded for this 'success'.
