Already, 22% of our code is written by machines, and I think that number is going to skyrocket. So here is what our employees are thinking: First, they’re wondering, is it coming at that pace? Yes, and I’m telling them, this is a hockey stick. It’s 22% today; it’ll probably be 50% in the next 12 months. And then the second thing they’re thinking is, what’s going to happen to my job?
Would you still need 350,000 employees in that scenario?

Google CEO Sundar Pichai made a significant revelation about the growing influence of artificial intelligence in software development during the company's third-quarter earnings call on Tuesday. According to Pichai, AI systems are now responsible for generating over 25% of new code for Google's products, while human programmers oversee and manage these AI-generated contributions.
Jack Dorsey, former Twitter CEO and current head of Block, predicted in a 2020 podcast with Andrew Yang that AI would soon come for programming jobs.
“A lot of the goals of machine learning and deep learning is to write the software itself over time so a lot of entry-level programming jobs will just not be as relevant anymore,” Dorsey told Yang.
