The AI Coding Revolution Has a Huge Problem?

Is Coding Actually Solved? Ex-Big Tech Engineer Reacts to Boris Cherny, Claude Code, and the Rise of Agentic AI Orchestration in Software development. Boris Cherny, creator of Claude Code, recently declared that coding is "largely a solved problem." As a software engineer with 25 years of experience—including years in Big Tech—that statement stopped me in my tracks. In this vlog, I break down my real-world experience using Agentic AI software development tools inside a Big Tech Company and explain why I believe AI-powered coding is nowhere near a solved problem. We'll discuss: ✅ Why companies are rushing to adopt Agentic AI coding tools ✅ What "Agentic Orchestration" actually means in software development ✅ The hidden problems with AI-generated code in large codebases ✅ Context window limitations, hallucinations, and technical debt ✅ Why "vibe coding" becomes dangerous at scale ✅ The growing gap between AI-generated output and human review capacity ✅ Boris Cherny's controversial claim that developers should stop prompting and start building "loops" ✅ The rise of Loop Engineering and why it still feels like alchemy to many engineers I also share lessons learned from using AI agents to build my own applications, including where these tools genuinely shine and where they completely fall apart. Whether you're a software engineer, engineering manager, tech leader, AI enthusiast, or someone wondering if AI is about to replace programmers, this discussion explores the reality behind the hype.
