It will be solved when there is no more code left to write.

Code is an abstract concept that is not bound to the physical world and I imagine that future will have some much more of it that it is difficult to comprehend. Everything will be code and more code will be written than ever before.

Code will never going to be solved. The question is how much humans will be involved and I think the evidence is that perhaps just a bit. However, because we are talking about vast libraries of code even if we are involved in under 1% of all code and decision making that is needed around the code, there are still not enough developers out there to take on the task.

I might be wrong :)

Code and software and applications are an intermediate stage. The final stage is an AI/LLM that just does the thing that is needed without any code being written, there are no applications or programs, just an AI that does everything.

		So how will separate systems communicate with each other? Or are there no separate systems? That’s the digital singularity I suppose.

		This doesn’t scale at all for some problems where a specific algorithm is needed (graph problems for instance).

		AI needs tools as much as humans do.

I'm pretty sure we reached peak software developer jobs due to ai.

The market is already collapsing in China and India.
