The funny thing is at my current employer, they mentioned that "coding is increasingly becoming a solved problem" and in the same breath, mentioned that one project was too hard for anyone to do so they're not doing it and would rather sell existing features...

Weird. Coding isn’t really “solved” - because “coding” isn’t just the process of typing in characters as fast as possible - BUT the skill floor has been massively lowered while also raising the skill ceiling considerably.

We’re doing projects now that seemed impossible before because we have access to these powerful AI models. They can make things that would have taken weeks or months take days now, freeing up time for even more ambitious buildouts we never would’ve even considered before.
