Is importing a library and then calling `sort` means solved?

Is adding a theme to Wordpress meaning you have a website?

i.e. then it was "solved" ages ago.

If not, no.

If the question is will there be less needs for developers then I'd argue most large organizations have always just over-hired; AI or not, especially during COVID.

If the question is do we still need a brain then yes. LLMs have been fed so much crap from the masses that it can be terrible.

You ask it the best solution and it often shills for AWS etc and pushes you in that direction.

There's so much training data from use-postgresql-for-everything spam that 90%. it'll also spit that out.

Coding may always have been solved, in a sense. Requirements are not solved and may never be, because that is an organizational problem, not a technical one. But it will keep you working.
