Real world programming often involves understanding the natural world, which computers today cannot do. A very small portion of my work resembles the algorithmic programming challenges on those websites. Most of the problems I solve are: Someone wants to control some real-world thing with their computer, and I have to figure out how to write software to enable them to do this. AIs do not understand the real world, so they are not coming close to being able to do this kind of work.
