Ai to Automate Coding Work Jobs in Danger Zoho Founder Sridhar Vembu Post Explains

Wambu wrote in one of his posts on X (first Twitter), “When people say ‘AI will write a 90% code’ I agree because 90% of the programmers write is ‘boiler plate’.” According to Vambu, programming has “essential complexity” and then a lot of “casual complexity” (ie boiler plate stuff). AI removes this accidental complexity effectively, but human expertise remains necessary to deal with the main challenges. “
He questioned, “Originally, AI can easily analyze the already discovered patterns. Can it find a completely new pattern?”
When people say “ai will write 90% of the code” I readily agree beCause 90% of What ProgramsMers Write is “Boileer Plate”.
There is “essential complexity” in programming and then there is a lot of “accidental complexity” (that is the boiler plate stuff) and this is very old wisdom…

Wambu resigned as ZOHO’s CEO in January to focus on the Research and Development Program. He said at the time that “In view of various challenges and opportunities in front of us, which includes recent major development in AI, it has been decided that I should focus on research and development initiatives, as well as pursue my personal rural development mission.”
Openai’s CEO Sam Altman also Warned The development of AI models may eventually reduce the need for software engineers. He said in an interview, “Each software engineer will work too much for some time. And then at some point, yes, perhaps we will need less software engineers.”
Altman also stated that “at least half” code is already being written by AI in many companies. He said, “I think in many companies, it is probably now more than 50%.”
