The point is if "coding is solved" was true, there would not be any unresolved bugs.

Creatine doesn't need astroturfing.. It's not <frontier AI lab>'s newest model turbo boost max pro extreme rocket 5.9. It's just a supplement that some people take.

this was true a year ago but not so much anymore. You still have to supervise the agents, but they can write maintainable code if you keep an eye on it.

You're missing the point (not sure if you're just being dense on purpose...). If you're bank would just return the money then its not a good analogy. If someone gains root access to your machine, presumably they can do damage

So you essentially trust the output of the model from beginning to end? Curious to know what type of application you're building where you can safely do that. Edit: to clarify, I know these models have gotten significantly better. The

"I personally code data structures and algorithms for 1 - 2 hrs a day" What does this mean? You do leet code problems a few hours a day? Or go through a text book? Genuinely curious.

It is kind of funny that people here tend to dump on Reddit a lot (often times warranted, don’t get me wrong), when this place is an echo chamber in a similar way.

That is often how software development has been done the past several decades yea... Not to say that you don't review your own work, but it's good practice for others (or at least one other person) to review it/QA it as well.
