'Coding Is Basically Solved for the Boring 90% of Tasks' — Practitioner Consensus Forming
r/singularity·medium signal
A 239-upvote, 96-comment discussion on r/singularity argues that AI has effectively solved the routine 90% of software engineering — boilerplate, CRUD, standard integrations — while the creative/architectural 10% remains hard. The thread surfaces a practitioner consensus: the value of a developer is shifting from 'can you write code' to 'can you architect systems, identify the right problems, and evaluate AI output.' This framing differs from the recent 'AI babysitters' viral post by proposing a specific 90/10 value split.
