GoKawiilAlex Ewerlöf argues AI coding tools haven't solved software engineering
Developer and author Alex Ewerlöf published an essay disputing the claim that 'coding is solved' by AI. He argues that while LLMs make code creation cheaper, they haven't addressed non-functional requirements like maintenance, reliability, security and scalability, which he says make up most of the real cost of production software. He also contends that even basic functional correctness remains unsolved by current AI coding tools.
