> I feel like everyone already knew the code was the easy part, even pre-AI.

I don’t agree with this at all. There still tons of buggy software around, and we ship multi-gigabyte electron installs that make fanspeeds go high and are way less efficient than software written 20 years ago.

Also the largest problem of AI written code is that is so hard to maintain, so no, coding is not the easy part.

I think it is the other way round. Building requirements from many sources of data and view points is the easy part. Implementing great, maintainable systems out of them needs specialists.
