This AI already writes 20% of Salesforce’s code. Here’s why developers aren’t worried

Summary
According to the Senior Vice President of Salesforce AI, Jayesh Govindarajan, 20% of all APEX code written in the last 30 days came from Agentforce, Salesforce’s AI system.
This reflects a growing trend in software development, where AI is generating code and leaving humans to focus on higher-level tasks.
Just as calculators didn’t eliminate the need for mathematicians, Salesforce believes that AI-generated code will give developers more time to focus on complex tasks, whilst still requiring them to work in collaboration with AI.
The company anticipates that developers will still be responsible for guiding the AI, ensuring it is working effectively, and solving high-level problems.
This will require developers to gain a new set of skills, such as controlling and guiding the AI, whilst also understanding what problems can be solved with software.
