Coding Is Not Solved: Why AI Can't Replace Accountable Engineers
Coding Is Not Solved – Alex Ewerlöf Notes
Alex Ewerlöf, a veteran developer with two engineering degrees, argues that the claim 'coding is solved' misunderstands software. While LLMs excel at personal projects and proofs of concept, most production software—healthcare, finance, aviation—demands accountability that AI cannot provide. He warns of 'AI overdose' and urges leaders not to force AI into every workflow, as it degrades services and puts an expiration date on developers' skills.
AI cannot be held accountable. It cannot suffer any consequences. The worst thing you can do to AI is to unplug it. And although it mimics human emotions (due to training data), it couldn’t care less.
