AI now writes 30% of Microsoft’s code. Discover how Hoetzin helps future developers code smarter and thrive in an AI-driven tech industry.
AI is no longer a future disruptor—it’s already transforming how software is built today. In fact, according to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, up to 30% of Microsoft’s internal code is now written by AI.
That figure came directly from Nadella during a fireside chat with Mark Zuckerberg at Meta’s LlamaCon this week. When asked how much of Microsoft’s code is AI-generated today, Nadella estimated the company is already seeing 20% to 30% of its codebase touched or created by AI tools.
“Software is writing software,” he said. And it’s happening faster than many expected.
The Rise of AI-Generated Code
This isn’t a Microsoft-only trend. Google recently revealed that AI is now generating more than 30% of its code, while Meta is actively exploring AI-powered development, even if Zuckerberg couldn’t give an exact number.
AI-generated code isn’t equal across all programming languages. Microsoft has seen more success with Python, while lower-level languages like C++ show slower adoption.
But the message is clear: developers who learn to collaborate with AI will have a major edge.
Microsoft CTO Kevin Scott even went further, predicting that by 2030, 95% of code could be AI-generated.
Why This Matters for Future Developers
The software engineering role is changing. AI can now:
- Suggest entire functions in real-time
- Optimize and refactor your code
- Help debug faster
- Translate code between languages
- Write boilerplate code, tests, and documentation
This doesn’t mean developers are becoming obsolete. It means their value shifts to thinking critically, reviewing AI-generated code, and focusing on architecture, problem-solving, and communication.

Final Takeaway
The future of coding isn’t human or machine—it’s both. And that future is already here.
If 30% of Microsoft’s code is now written by AI, the question isn’t whether AI will shape your career—it’s whether you’ll be ready to shape it with AI.
