Code is not solved seems to reflect the idea that using AI badly is a bad idea, and that to use it well you have to be good at making software.

The real tension is in the human AI interface and there are many unknowns. Can a software engineer with weak design skill use AI to produce good code. Will the future make those requisites less important. Will productivity increase with AI stagnate even for the best. Can a new way to interface humans and AI break that wall. Will software be created in a new way using dynamic libraries that AI agents prepare to cover a large scope of problems. Nobody knows yet. The article is strong on what is closed, accountability, ownership, NFRs, slop, and silent on what is open, which is where the argument actually is.
