AWS CEO Predicts AI to Transform Software Developer Roles
In a leaked recording from an internal meeting, Amazon Web Services CEO Matt Garman discussed the evolving role of software developers in the age of artificial intelligence (AI). Garman suggested that AI could soon take over many coding tasks, urging developers to focus on innovation and customer needs rather than the mechanics of writing code. He framed the shift as an opportunity rather than a threat, emphasizing that developers would need to adapt to new AI-driven workflows to stay relevant. “If you go forward 24 months from now, or some amount of time — I can’t exactly predict where it is — it’s possible that most developers are not coding,” Garman’s leaked audio states.
