Coding is solved—tactically: how do you stop agents from AI-slopping your codebase?
raxxak · reddit · 2026-09-06
Amid the revived "coding is solved" debate, the author argues it only holds for tactical programming: Claude can build a feature in a big codebase easily, but often without maintainable, architecturally sound choices—e.g., recreating the same button from scratch instead of extracting a shared component.
The open question: how do you give agents strategic-programming awareness and prevent AI slop from degrading your codebase over time? The author invites practices for making Claude strategic rather than tactical.
