The 30% reference wasn't referring to this article, but by other CEOs like Microsoft.
And those without understanding what the number means or how it was derived write misleading articles.
- nextlevelwizard 1y agoI was talking about the Microsoft CEO quote everyone is misquoting. He said something to affect of "at Microsoft we have _some_ repos where up to 30% of the code is _generated_". This could mean they have one C++ repo for one tool that has 30% generated header files without any LLM usage at all. Of course that is probably not what he meant and the least generous view, but I find it extremely suspect to believe that any large company, much less Microsoft, would have third of their code produced by LLMs. I find it hard to believe any profitable software company has that high of a percentage.
