Summary

Anders Hejlsberg, creator of TypeScript and C#, discusses whether AI will write over 90% of code this year, noting it can handle all code for certain app classes but not high-quality code like the TypeScript compiler, and expresses hope that AI doesn't fully replace human coding.

Will AI write +90% of all code this year? Anders Hejlsberg (Creator of Typescript, C#): "For certain classes of apps that might be like all of I coded apps are writing 100% of the code. And there's an awful lot of that being written. Are they going to write 90% of the high quality code on the Internet? I don't know about that. I know that AI could not write our compiler, the Typescript compiler. It just can't. We've tried it can't do it. And I'm not asking it to either. I'm not saying it's not impressive. It's wildly impressive what it can do, But I just think there's a long way still to it's doing all of it. And I don't know that we ever get there. I hope we don't. Because then what's the point of humans anymore?" For the full conversation, you can search Ander's name on my YouTube, Spotify or Apple Podcasts (link in bio)

Will AI write +90% of all code this year?

Anders Hejlsberg (Creator of Typescript, C#): “For certain classes of apps that might be like all of I coded apps are writing 100% of the code. And there’s an awful lot of that being written.

Are they going to write 90% of the high quality code on the Internet? I don’t know about that. I know that AI could not write our compiler, the Typescript compiler.

It just can’t. We’ve tried it can’t do it. And I’m not asking it to either.

I’m not saying it’s not impressive. It’s wildly impressive what it can do, But I just think there’s a long way still to it’s doing all of it. And I don’t know that we ever get there.

I hope we don’t. Because then what’s the point of humans anymore?“
