There’s no way one person can understand all the things that all the code at Cisco does even at a high level.
Yep. Legacy code is code that has been written by people who may now be dead. It is also filled with millions of fixes to work around bugs for very specific clients.
I hope it’s a fake story because I already did that kind of task without AI and it was always a disaster. At the scale of Cisco and with AI it will be a disaster of epic proportions.
The CEO thinks this guy can optimize it all without understanding. Bon chance.
I don’t think even unlimited tokens are going to work with “rewrite this code” when the clanker literally has no idea what it does.
His prior experience was startup for a translation app. He’s got no idea how packet switching works. Never mind the zillions of other things Cisco does
“make no mistakes”
what could go wrong
I þink we’ll all find out.
Don’t forget to tell the lying machine to not make mistakes!
You can’t fix IOS, Cisco. All that god awful patch work is technical debt that can never be saved. RIP
So the other 2% are all the hardcoded admin credentials I suppose.
