I also have found that AI has not lived up to many of its promises and have dialed back what AI gets control of. My projects were turning into unmaintainable messes. The people who say coding is solved aren't paying attention.

  "Coding is solved" is a very high bar, and current-gen AI/LLM is very far from that.
  Where AI did make a lot of impact is triage. I can throw a messy bug report of an intermittent issue at claude, and tell I need issue reproduced and fix developed, and there is a well above 50% chance it'll deliver. Never commit that fix to the codebase as-is, of course.
