""I made this prediction that, you know, in six months, 90% of code would be written by AI models," Amodei said. "Some people think that prediction is wrong, but within Anthropic and within a number of companies that we work with, that is absolutely true now.""
""If Claude is writing 90% of the code, what that means, usually, is, you need just as many software engineers. You might need more, because they can then be more leverage," said Amodei. "They can focus on the 10% that's editing the code or writing the 10% that's the hardest, or supervising a group of AI models. And so what happens is, you know, you just end up being 10 times more productive," Amodei added."
Claude AI now produces approximately 90% of code for many teams while human engineers remain essential. Engineers shift from routine coding to editing, handling the hardest 10% of work, supervising AI models, and integrating outputs. Headcount may remain the same or increase because engineers gain leverage and productivity multiplies. Entry-level roles already face reduced opportunities as AI coding tools handle more tasks, while experienced developers experience less displacement and retain job security. Other organizations report founders and teams generating large proportions of code with AI, signaling broader adoption across the industry.
