I just read some news about a major tech company planning to replace programmers with AI systems. The CEO mentioned they need about 1,000 AI bots to do what one human developer does.
What caught my attention:
- They want to roll out 1 billion AI workers by late 2025
- These bots won’t just write code - they’ll handle meetings, make choices, and work with other AI systems
- The boss said “human coding days are numbered in our organization”
- They’re already starting this change right now
My concerns:
This sounds pretty wild to me. If one company needs 1,000 AI agents per human job, that seems like the AI isn’t really that advanced yet. But maybe they’re planning for the long term?
Has anyone else heard about this trend? Are other big companies doing similar things?
I’m wondering if this is just hype or if we should actually be worried about our programming careers. What do you think - is this realistic or just another tech bubble claim?
totally agree! all this buzz about AI taking over jobs seems overblown. it’s good for some routine tasks, but when it comes to complex coding, human touch is irreplaceable. i feel like this is just a phase.
I’ve been doing enterprise software development for 8+ years, and this is mostly hype. That 1,000 AI bots per developer ratio actually proves AI isn’t that capable yet - if it were truly effective, you wouldn’t need so many. Current AI is great for boilerplate code and repetitive stuff, but it can’t handle architecture decisions, debug complex systems, or understand business requirements. The idea that AI will run meetings and make strategic calls by 2025? That’s laughable given how much context those tasks need. This sounds like marketing BS to pump stock prices or someone who doesn’t understand what these AI tools actually do. Sure, programming will change, but complete replacement in 2025? Not happening with today’s tech.
