Anyone who thinks anyone can code because of AI probably also thinks anyone can run a restaurant because of cooking shows.
Expertise matters. Just because you can spin up code doesn’t make you understand anything about it. Any more than watching Rachel Ray makes you a restauranteur.

Solve those things and I love the concept of AI.
Well I’ll be damned. The man responsible for ripping up my yard stopped and apologized.
