The Goal was written 40 years ago and talks about, among other things, the paradox/illusion of local optima. This isn't new, AI coding assistants are at some level just another NCX-10. This isn't a book recommendation thread, but I highly recommend that book to anyone, even if you've read its IT equivalent, The Phoenix Project.

To add on: if you don't have the patience for the full book, watch the movie, it's not too long.

One day in our uni class, the prof played the movie instead of teaching. It is the only class I distinctly remember today in terms of the scope of what it taught me.

Is the name of the movie 'The Goal'? A rather search proof title if so.
