- CEO Dario Amodei told Salesforce’s Dreamforce that within Anthropic and several partner companies, AI now produces roughly 90% of code.
- He said engineering jobs are not being cut, describing a role shift toward editing, tackling the hardest 10% of problems, and supervising AI systems with claimed large productivity gains.
- A Stanford study reports employment for software developers aged 22 to 25 fell nearly 20% since late 2022, with experts noting experienced engineers are less affected.
