"Coding Is Solved" should occur to you as a classic Motte & Bailey style argument [0] that relies on ambiguity. Would you agree with the following?

"Software architecture is solved, there is no longer any need for human intervention in the architecture or design of any software, nor in any subsequent stage"

Well, that is what Dario et al would like you to believe. However, the argument they can actually defend is:

"Programmers no longer need to type the code out by hand in most cases, they can get the result they want with (several iterations of) higher level instruction."

What a farce. Too bad people eat it up!
