“Code is becoming management" Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt says programming has already changed more in 6 months than in the last 20 years. Top engineers are no longer writing most of the code themselves. They’re managing fleets of AI agents with objectives, verification, and long-running tasks. The leverage moved from typing to orchestration.

🇺🇸 EX-GOOGLE BOSS: AI WILL REPLACE MOST PROGRAMMERS IN A YEAR—SUPERINTELLIGENCE COULD ARRIVE IN SIX Former Google CEO, Eric Schmidt: "We believe that in the next year, the vast majority of programmers will be replaced by AI. Within three to five years, we’ll see AGI—systems as smart as the best humans. And in six years, artificial superintelligence—smarter than all of us combined. This is happening fast, and society isn’t ready." Source: Eric Schmidt vitrupo

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt on the US - China AI race: The U.S. is chasing AGI. China is shipping day-to-day AI apps, and robotics. If Chinese open-source models get good enough, much of the world could end up building on them.

Former Google CEO Eric Schmidt says a frontier AI model costs up to $500 million to build and is worth about six months: "Are the scaling laws stopping?" "And the answer right now is no, which is unbelievable." "A model costs $200 to $500 million, you release it, and it has a life expectancy of about six months." "And then there's another one." "And the competition between the leading players is so brutal, right, that they literally count in the number of weeks of value of these things, which costs hundreds of millions of dollars." Schmidt is talking about the build cost. There is a second cost underneath it, which is re-proving each replacement, because whatever testing cleared one version does not carry over to the next. A company that standardizes on a frontier model this year is signing up to do that re-approval work twice a year. - Eric Schmidt (Eric Schmidt), former CEO of Google (Google) and now Chair and CEO of Relativity Space, with Alan Blinder at Princeton's Griswold Center (Princeton University).

Marc Andreessen: AI coding doesn’t eliminate programmers — it redefines them. The job is no longer typing code line by line, it’s orchestrating 10 coding bots in parallel, arguing with them, debugging their output, changing the spec, and pushing them toward the right result. But here’s the catch: if you don’t understand how to write code yourself, you can’t evaluate what the AI gives you. The next layer of programming isn’t writing scripts — it’s supervising AI that writes them. Today’s best programmers spend their day jumping between terminals, managing multiple coding bots, fixing mistakes, and refining instructions. The irony? You still need deep fundamentals, because without them, you won’t know when the AI is wrong. The job of the programmer has changed. Now it’s about arguing with coding bots, debugging AI-generated code, and understanding why something doesn’t work or isn’t fast enough. AI abstracts the work — but only people who truly understand code can tell if the abstraction is doing the right thing. Programmers aren’t going away — they’re becoming 10x, 100x, even 1,000x more productive. Tasks are changing, the job is changing, but humans are still overseeing the process, evaluating results, fixing errors, and making judgment calls. AI changes how we code, not who is responsible. The future programmer isn’t replaced by AI — they’re upgraded by it. You still need to learn how to write and understand code, because when the AI gets it wrong, humans are the ones who have to know why. That up-leveling of capability is the real revolution.

I have built a Windows x64 sampling profiler for native code+C# to be used by coding agents. Why? Because it is irresponsible to let computers write code but give them no tools to evaluate the performance of their code. Stop guessing, start measuring. -> How does it work? Just point your agent to the profiler and let them measure and optimize. Or record a trace yourself and let the agent interpret the results for you. Works with Claude Code, Codex, pi, etc. The profiler also has a couple of neat features by itself like giving you estimates for how much time your code is spending on memory stalls and annotating disassembly with inlining information. Take a look and try it for free!

Most of the market is priced for a world that's coming to an end. Traditional software, legacy platforms, much of the SaaS layer of the S&P 500… all built on the assumption that humans will remain the primary customers. AI agents don't buy software the way we do. They don't need dashboards, subscriptions, or logins. And once the buyer changes, so does everything built around them. The investable opportunity ahead is the agentic economy… what gets built for agents as customers. That's where the next wave of capital ends up, and most people aren't positioned for it.

Eric Schmidt, former Google CEO, on why top programmers won't be replaced by AI, they'll be amplified by it: He starts with an observation about the existing hierarchy in software: "The very top programmers were worth 10 times more than the ones right below. There's something special about the mathematical reasoning skills of programmers." Rather than flattening that gap, he argues AI will widen it: "Those people will become more valuable, not less valuable, because these systems need to be controlled by humans at the moment. Those people will be capable of grasping the parallelization and the activities of this." To show what this amplification actually looks like in practice, Eric shares a story from a startup he's involved with. He was talking to one of the programmers there, who works on UIs, about his daily workflow: "He said, 'I write the spec of what I want and then I write a test function, an evaluation function. And then I turn it on.' I said, 'What time?' And he goes, '7:00 in the evening.' And I go, 'Okay. What do you then do?' Well, he has dinner with his wife and he goes to sleep." Eric continues: "I said, 'Do you wake up?' Said, 'No, I sleep very well.' 'When does it finish?' 'Oh, 4:00 in the morning.' And then he gets up, has breakfast, you know, does whatever he does, and then he sees what's been good." Eric Schmidt calls the whole thing "mindboggling." The story captures what amplification really means. The programmer isn't writing less code. He's producing a night's worth of work while asleep, because the machine is running on his spec, his tests, his judgment of what "good" looks like. The leverage belongs to those who can define the problem precisely, write the tests that matter, and recognize good output when they see it.

Hoping your coding agents could understand you and adapt to your preferences? Meet TOM-SWE, our new framework for coding agents that don’t just write code, but model the user's mind persistently (ranging from general preferences to small details) arxiv: ❓Motivation: Most coding agents today can plan, edit, run, and test code. But they still fail at a key part of real-world development, understanding the user! Underspecified, shifting, or context-dependent instructions can easily break them. You must have those moments when coding agents were running for 10 minutes and ended up producing things largely misaligned. (1/)

LeetCode is dead. Developers don't write code line-by-line anymore. They orchestrate AI agents working in parallel, review AI-generated code, and make architectural decisions. That's the job now. But most interview processes haven't caught up. They still test algorithm memorization instead of AI fluency, code review, and judgment. We're building assessments for next-gen hiring that mirror how developers actually work. Here's how we think about it:

"the people who struggle with coding agents are those who try to push their way too hard. partially why I find coding with agents easy is that I've led engineering teams before". this is a unique view on AI coding, that to maximize your output you have to "let go" a bit and accept that the way AI will build the project might not be 100% aligned with your way, it might not even be 100% correct, but it will push the project forward. and if you realize later that you don't like an approach, you can always go back to it later and iterate over it. so there's not always an absolute total gain, but the overall performance is what matters in the end.

Klarna CEO Sebastian Siemiatkowski never learned how to code. But after a summer using Cursor, he now brings working prototypes to meetings instead of asking engineers to interpret his ideas: “Because I'm not an engineer, I've been vibe coding my whole life.” “I come into the meeting room, there's tons of product people and engineers. I say, ‘I think we should build an app that kind of does this, and it should work like that.’ They try to make sense of what is saying.” “I've never seen the code. I don't know how they made it. It's beautiful, I like our app. I think it's nice but, I don't know how it works.” “So to me, I've been vibe coding for 20 years. The only difference is now I'm sitting with a computer, and I'm doing it with AI and it's coming back with the prototype in 20 minutes.”

AI only made that harder. That's why I built Nuanced, the AI coding app I want. Nuanced is a macOS app for building software with agents around a living spec, keeping intent and implementation connected as the agent builds. Try it:
