Fire and Frenzy During a leaked “fireside chat,” the head of Amazon Web Services (AWS) Matt Garman suggested that in as little as two years, human developers may need to learn different skills to make way for artificial intelligence coders. “If you go forward 24 months from now, or some amount of time — I can’t exactly predict where it is — it’s possible that most developers are not coding,” he exclaimed in audio leaked to Business Insider. Just a month after overseeing hundreds of AWS job cuts in April, Garman was promoted to CEO. With that pedigree of rapid ascension amid layoffs, he seems perfectly poised to deliver that kind of pep talk to his assembled employees. “Coding is just kind of like the language that we talk to computers. It’s not necessarily the skill in and of itself,” the CEO said. “The skill in and of itself is like, how do I innovate? How do I go build something that’s interesting for my end users to use?” “Being a developer in 2025 may be different than what it was as a developer in 2020,” Garman added. While AWS insists that Garman wasn’t issuing a “warning,” his language still comes across as a little unsettling, highlighting the threats of job automation in the age of AI.
