If software engineering is solved they should be able to get it right the first time

Software Engineering clearly is solved, that's why Google has a tiny animated banner on the AI Studio sidebar (advertising subscription upgrade), which shows a simple animated border around it and utilizing exactly 100% of the GPU to render just that banner. And there is a browser extension removing that styling element (without banner GPU load is obviously under 0.1% as it should be) released way back in May. So the almighty AI didn't manage to fix a major UI blocker for a flagship AI product in half a year now. :)

When I had a Claude account (cancelled ~May time) I vividly remember the web chat having broken editing for backtick-quoted monospace text. If you typed <space>`foobar`<space> the last space would move the cursor backward into the closing quote, and the space would be emitted inside the monospaced region. It was like this for several months (on Firefox). I always found this baffling for a product marketed to programmers.

Same with their desktop app by the way, absolutely infuriating.

Coding is solved, software engineering still TBD

CODEX WRITES ITSELF! DONT YOU PEOPLE UNDERSTAND!!!!!

Nah, you're confusing it with Autolith.

So you imply that Codex has a hoarding issue?

It loves hording issues. Over 15 THOUSAND on GH.

It gets very attached to itself
