What's writing code?

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 (this isn't to say PG is bad but we do have ClickHouse, MongoDB, Cassandra, MySQL/MariaDB, etc and each do still have their use cases).
