Coding has been solved for 20 years at least.

90% of problems are easy once you know what you actually want well enough for you to be able to ask it from an LLM.

90% of code before LLMs was badly copied from StackOverflow anyway.

That 10% that's remaining, I've see 0, ZERO, nil progress. Windows is still awful. Spotify still doesn't work correctly offline. Youtube search is trash. Jira takes 20 seconds sometimes to load a task. LLMs haven't created a new database or a new game engine or a new renderer or anything like that.

The maths breakthroughs are really more of a testament to the efforts of the last 150 years for maths to be an organised verifiable principle. If LLMs had to practice math they way Euler did, they wouldn't be able to find shit.

(sorry if I sound incoherent, just some thoughts while I'm commuting)
