Machine Learning and Neural Networks are not applicable for solving all kinds of problems. In fact, in Tesla AI Day Elon Musk remarked that "I discourage the use of machine learning... unless you have to use machine learning, don't do it" [1]. Getting machine learning to work right is hard. If it can be avoided it should be.

So to cast this as Software 1.0 vs 2.0 doesn't make sense. There is a class of problems where neural networks work better. Everywhere else we will continue to use traditional code.
