Coding Is Not Solved – Alex Ewerlöf Notes

While AI-powered coding tools excel at generating code quickly, they cannot replace human engineers in production environments because software development is primarily about maintaining reliability, security, and scalability—not just writing functional code. The author argues that AI cannot be held accountable for failures and humans cannot be responsible for systems they don't fully control, making AI-generated code unsuitable for high-stakes industries like healthcare, finance, and aviation where mistakes have serious consequences. The claim that "coding is solved" reflects a misunderstanding of how professional software engineering actually works beyond initial code creation.
