Amazon's Perspective: Shifting Focus from Coding to Innovation
Matt Garman, Amazon Web Services (AWS) CEO, made headlines with his comments during an internal fireside chat in June. According to a leaked recording, Garman suggested that within 24 months, it's possible that "most developers are not coding." He emphasized that coding is merely the language used to communicate with computers, not the core skill itself.
Garman believes the fundamental skill for developers will shift towards innovation and understanding customer needs. He stated, "The job of software developer will change... each of us has to get more in tune with what our customers need and what the actual end thing is that we're trying to build."
