The full quote (in response to: should people learn programming) is "In a year or two it's not gonna matter, coding is largely solved".

Which is still quite the statement, and damn the video is intolerable. But the full quote still feels a little different than how you put it here.

How so? If coding is largely solved and we are on the cusp of not even needing to learn to code, then the statement that they use electron because it’s what most of their engineers are familiar with seems a little contradictory.

What's wrong with taking existing skills into consideration when making technical decisions while coding skills still matter, just because you think coding skills won't matter "in a year or two"? Where's the contradiction?

They did, with the caveat that its solved" for most use cases".

I would have expected the non-solved-cases to be the relatively unique ones, but considering the plethora of both A) non-Electron desktop apps, and B) coding agents (Copilot/Windsurf/Cursor/Codex/OpenCode/Qwen/Amazon Kiro/Devin/JetBrains AI/Gemini CLI/Gemini Code Assist/Antigravity/Warp/Kilocode/Cline/RooCode/Atlassian Rovo/Claude Code/etc), it seems like neither of the building blocks is very rare - perhaps Claude is just incapable of putting it together?
