I have my qualms with Anthropic/Claude but they've also had to scale unfathomably fast and that is just hard to do regardless.
Coding is probably solved, at least to a large extent, but that doesn't mean engineering is solved too.
This is like someone saying that the wright brothers solved sustained/powered human flight, and another person saying "well if that's the case, why do planes still crash? obviously flight isn't solved.". Well, there are always improvements, but planes can fly and llm's can code.
They been claiming more than just “coding is solved” for a while now.

Sounds more like a vague prediction of what the future might be like rather than an iron-clad claim.
Still requires lots of work to shape the output correctly, but it's still crazy to me that I literally don't write code any more. And in that way, coding is solved for me.
