| schestowitz[TR2] | The end of coders is near!!! | May 18 20:34 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Programmers bore the brunt of Microsoft’s layoffs in its home state as AI writes up to 30% of its code | May 18 20:34 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Coders were hit hardest among Microsoft’s 2,000-person layoff in its home state of Washington, Bloomberg reports. | May 18 20:34 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Over 40% of the people laid off were in software engineering, making it by far the largest category, Bloomberg found based on state filings. Relatively few sales or marketing positions were affected, Bloomberg added. | May 18 20:34 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | To be fair, coders are a big chunk of Microsoft’s workforce, although it doesn’t disclose the exact proportion. The cuts are part of recent layoffs at Microsoft affecting about 6,000 people. | May 18 20:34 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Still, these cuts come after CEO Satya Nadella said last month that up to 30% of the company’s code was now written by AI. | May 18 20:34 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | TechCrunch asked Microsoft if the layoffs were motivated by the rise of AI-assisted coding. The tech giant declined to comment. Microsoft has said the layoffs are aimed at reducing management layers. | May 18 20:34 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | Asked about the layoffs by SFGATE, Microsoft spokesperson Jeff Jones wrote, "We continue to implement organizational changes necessary to best position the company for success in a dynamic marketplace." The company did not respond to questions about the scope of the cuts, if more were coming to the Bay Area and what types of severance payments workers might receive. | May 18 20:38 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Jones added that the company is cutting managers to reduce layers and said Microsoft has regularly adjusted its workforce, "even in the best of times." The company, which owns LinkedIn and gaming company Activision Blizzard, also laid off 10,000 workers at the beginning of 2023, part of a wave of dramatic cuts at the biggest tech companies. Microsoft Chief Financial Officer Amy Hood referenced potential layoffs in an April earnings | May 18 20:38 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | call, saying the company was expecting to start modifying staff by "reducing layers" at Microsoft. Just a day prior, CEO Satya Nadella said 20% to 30% of the company's existing software code was written by artificial intelligence instead of human engineers, TechCrunch reported. | May 18 20:38 |
