Full title: Microsoft’s distinguished engineer says “typing code is absolutely over,” and Windows 11 is already being built that way. Nadella previously said 20-30% code at MSFT is AI-coded, and Windows security updates now include AI-assisted fixes to fight AI-enabled threats.
I see that this is an unpopular opinion and I’m fine with that.
Our job is not to write code. Our job is to transform data.
We don’t stop thinking. We just think more strategically and focus on data models and isolating architectural interfaces.
Changing what you think about is not the same as stopping thinking.
The code details are not the hard part for an architect anyways. Isolating code to separate concerns and minimize complexity to ensure sustainable development velocity is the challenge.
