This past October, Sundar Pichai proudly announced on an earnings call that AI was writing more than 25% of new code at Google. Mark Zuckerberg has said that Meta will build an AI engineer to write code. Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff announced a hiring freeze for engineers in 2025, saying AI had increased productivity by 30% — and then news broke that Salesforce planned to lay off 1,000 workers. (It's still hiring salespeople for AI-powered products.) Stripe intends to cut some engineers while also growing its overall head count this year. https://lnkd.in/gx2YPDYb.
AI Impact on Coding
I talk with businesses and Governments about Smarter Planning & Supply Challenges. Unfortunately 'Hello world' programs can be rewritten by AI.

I wonder what they know that I’m overlooking.
