According to Dario Amodi, the CEO of Eropic, 90% of the code written in many of the company’s teams is currely generated by Claude artificial ielligence. Of course, he emphasized that this does not mean replacing engineers, but has fundameally redefined their role.
“Why aren’t engineers fired even though 90% of the code is written by artificial ielligence?” This was an ieresting question that Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff asked Dario Amudi at the Dreamforce conference. Amudi also responded that the idea that artificial ielligence will replace engineers is a “misunderstanding”.
According to him, even when artificial ielligence writes 90% of the routine and repetitive code, the same number of engineers are needed, maybe even more. The reason is that engineers now have more “leverage”. They are freed from tedious daily tasks and can focus on more importa areas; These importa sections are: Writing 10% of the remaining code which are the hardest and most complicated parts. Editing and optimization Codes generated by artificial ielligence and finally Supervising a group of artificial ielligence models and their guidance.
“What ends up happening is you’re 10 times more productive,” Amody says. He emphasized that this process means “redefining the role” of engineers, not “replacing” them.
Writing eropic codes by artificial ielligence
According to Insider, Eropic is not the only company that has turned to artificial ielligence to write its codes. The CEO of Y Combinator has also announced that about a quarter of the founders of startups in the company’s wier 2025 period have produced up to 95% of their code using artificial ielligence. These statistics show that Amodi’s claim is not an exaggeration and we should accept the new reality of the software developme world.
Although the position of experienced engineers seems to have become more secure and even more importa in this new world, a new study from Stanford University is sounding the alarm for the next generation of developers.
The rise of artificial ielligence coding tools has had a major negative impact on ery-level software engineering jobs, researchers’ study shows. According to the research, hiring of young developers between the ages of 22 and 25 has dropped by nearly 20% since ChatGPT launched in November 2022. Thus, if new engineers cannot find their first job and gain experience, we will face a shortage of experienced engineers in the future.
