Addy Osmani describes the '70% problem': AI coding tools quickly produce about 70% of a solution, but the remaining 30%—edge cases, security, production integration—remains as hard as ever. At Google, 30% of code is now AI-generated, yet trust in AI-generated code is declining.

Useful mental model for scoping AI coding work. The Google adoption stat and the trust-erosion trend are firsthand data points worth weighing against adoption-hype narratives.
