80% of Code is Now Written by AI (Andrej Karpathy)

Boss, the future programming language is not Python, is not Rust, is not JavaScript, it's English. When I said this a year back, I was bombarded by a lot of engineers taking offense. Now 12 months later, here is what top programmers in the world are saying. His name is Andre Karpati. He helped build open AI. He built the AI that makes Tesla's cars drive themselves. If there's a Mount Rushmore of AI, he's on it. Last month, he typed one sentence in plain English. No code, just build me a system that analyzes my home camera footage. Then he put his hands in his lap and watched. The AI set up the servers, downloaded the models, built the dashboard, wrote every line of code, found its own errors, fixed them, deployed the whole thing, 30 minutes, zero input from him, a complete working system. He said that would have taken him an entire weekend. A person who can build self-driving cars, the AI needed a coffee break. But here's what really got me. 3 months ago he was writing 80% of his own code. Next month only 20%. He called it the biggest shift in how he works in 20 years. And then he said something I can't stop thinking about. He said it hurts the ego a bit. The man who helped build the most powerful AI tools in the world saying the thing he built is now better at his job than he is. If that's where he is, where does that leave the rest of us? I share many of these AI updates daily in my free WhatsApp community. Link in bio.
