Do they consider code readability, formatting and variable naming as "errors" for the overall count. That seems dubious given where we are headed.

No one cares what a compiler or js minifier names its variables in its output.

Yes, if you don't believe we will get there ever, then this is totally valid complaint. You are also wrong about the future.

The "future" is a really long time.

I'll take the other side of your bet for the next 10 years but I won't take it for the next 30 years.

In that spirit, I want my fusion reactor and my flying car.

If your outlook is 10 years then for sure, its valid. I am not sure how you come to that conclusion logically though. At the beginning of the year we had 0 code agents. Now we have dozens, some are basically free, (of various degrees of quality, sure).

The last 2-3 months of releases have been an unprecedented whirlwind. Code writing will be solved by the end of 2026. Architecture, maybe not, but formatting issues isn't architecture.
