That would mean 95% of problems are already solved.

I don’t agree with this - the space of problems to solve is as big as that of solutions (both are programs in the end).

I don’t think suggestion about lack of experience deserves any response.

No, it means 95% of effort spent is spent towards already solved problems. This is, in part, why I hate capitalism. People are doing tons of work simply to compete with others instead of working together to solve meaningful problems.

It is difficult for me to dispute this as I don't think I am in any way entitled to define what problems are "meaningful".

BTW - lack of an authority deciding what problems are meaningful is the core idea of capitalism. And I'm telling you as a person that lived many years under communism: this is much better for everybody.
