> I believe that anyone who says that writing code is no longer needed, was probably not a very good coder to begin with. I have seen what the best models can do, and I've seen what people call "good", and I am not impressed.

I envy you.

I believe that anyone who holds this position has been extremely lucky/fortunate to work with only top-tier developers. And does not read or work with open source projects.

Last year’s models are producing code better than _at least_ 50% of the developers I’ve worked with. Today’s frontier models are better than probably 75%. If the code that humans have been generating has been “good” (on average) or at least good enough, then the models that exist today are producing “good” code.
