Doesn't AI just replace the coding that other people have done many times? That is, we don't have to do repetitive work because of AI. Yes, I don't know how to write a React app even though I can vibe code it quickly, but that's repetitive nonetheless. It's just that it is another person who has repeated the code before. That said, there are a ton of code to write by hand if we push the envelop. The 10 algorithms that I no one has build for production. This concurrency library that no one has built in my favorite language. That simulation that Claude Code just can’t get right no matter how much prompts/context engineering/harness engineering I do. The list can go on and on.
