Let’s ignore electron. Your app has many UI/UX and performance flaws. If as your CEO says “coding is largely solved”, why is this the case? Or is your CEO wrong and coding is not largely solved?

What kind of project lead is going to answer for their CEO?
- sarchertech 8mo ago
  Not a normal one but also a normal project lead doesn’t get on HN and start publicly answering questions. If you’re gonna start speaking for and defending your company though and your company CEO has made asinine statements that are related, I’m gonna ask.

  I mean if your coding machine can’t solve known issues with your app then coding isn’t solved is it.

    If artificial intelligence exceeded the ability of hacker news users to bitch about software, that would truly be AGI.

      I guess you can complain about HN users complaining about software if you want to. But that doesn’t change the fact that there are objective flaws with this particularly piece of software that shouldn’t exist if the company building it has truly “solved code”.

  I mean a software ide should be pretty low on the totem pole of software complexity. Edit: (1) because most of the complexity lies in the tool chains that are integrated, like compilers and linters, and (2) because there’s much more complex software out there, mostly at the intersection of engineering domains, to name a few: ballistic guidance systems, IoT and networking, predictive maintenance systems, closed-loop process optimization systems, SLAM robotics

    If it’s so simple, where is yours?

      I’m not the one going on national news implying that everyone can fire their software engineers over the next couple of years lol
