> "I'd say maybe 20%, 30% of the code that is inside of our repos today and some of our projects are probably all written by software," Nadella said during a conversation before a live audience with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
which is clearly untrue, one assumes he meant "20%, 30% written since 2023 was partially generated by an LLM operated by a developer", but that doesn't sell stock.
this was reported as actually just IDE tab completion back when google claimed this stat last year
There is no use of writing VBA these days :@
Not that 30% of code being automatically generated from templates or in some algorithmic way seem unbelievable. There is likely lot of code that could be generated by other code and it might even be reasonable choice.
I don’t believe that datum for a second considering how big their existing code bases are.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Why not? They want companies to buy their AI enabled slop.
Wouldn’t being transparent with how effective it was at writing code be a good sales tool?
Any time you see companies refusing to even vaguely define what metrics like this mean (or, for that matter, using non-standard metrics, like disclosing weekly active users but not monthly), it's generally a very strong signal that they're not interested in being transparent because the truth is, ah, not what they would like it to be.

google's internal and extremely sophisticated LLM completion thing is driven by IDE tab completion

I don't believe it either but they probably meant 30% of the code committed not of their total codebase.

> Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said that 20%-30% of code inside the company’s repositories was “written by software” — meaning AI Does it mean AI though? Lots of lines in repositories are generated by software that isn’t AI. Dependency lock files, proto files, etc IMO the wording is intentionally misleading.
