Cisco president says coding syntax wastes expensive synapses
Briefly

At Cisco Live, president Jeetu Patel emphasized the need for engineers to focus on creativity and innovation rather than coding syntax. He discussed plans for an AI companion to assist Cisco's engineering team of 27,000, reducing their cognitive load related to programming. OpenAI's Kevin Weil highlighted the potential for AI to change how developers work, making manual coding seem outdated. Patel believes this shift could alleviate constraints on engineering resources, allowing Cisco to innovate more effectively and benefit customers with enhanced AI infrastructure capabilities.
"I would rather our people are thinking about the next big thing, not syntax."
"Developers who write all their own code will appear as quaint as the events in the film."
