This is the paradox. For software engineers, the current crop of “AI” tools is magic. A huge accelerator. And then they assume the rest of the world will get the same boost. However this is not the case at all. Claude code is great because it is trained on extremely well documented git histories and stack overflow. And outcomes are binary: the code works or it doesn’t; the PR is accepted or it isn’t. Not much else in the business world is like this at all. No training data with this kind of sequential development information. And no real black and white outcomes as such.

I would love it if we can just take the win on having created an amazing tool set for coders. Can’t this be enough?
