Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang argues that traditional coding is being replaced by agentic AI, shifting software developers into higher-level roles. In an interview released by the company, Huang stated, "Every one of my engineers would rather build agents than write code. Coding is just typing now." He explained that Nvidia’s software teams are building agentic systems, creating evaluation frameworks, and designing guardrails for safe AI operation, rather than focusing on repetitive coding tasks. "You’re taking all the mundane work, and you’re trying to get this agent to do it," Huang said, adding that this requires imagination, creativity, and technology. Since co-founding Nvidia in 1993, Huang has argued that AI should augment every knowledge worker, and the company is rolling out autonomous agents across every business unit. Other tech leaders share this perspective: Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has centered Microsoft’s AI strategy on agentic computing, AWS CEO Matt Garman predicted AI-assisted development will reshape virtually every application, and Marvell Technology CEO Matt Murphy noted that interconnected AI agents are fueling demand for custom silicon, optical interconnects, and faster networking infrastructure.
