Cisco bets on AI to rewrite nearly all its legacy code
Original: Cisco gives engineer unlimited AI tokens to rewrite 98% of the company's code
Cisco has handed a 27-year-old engineer, a former startup founder picked by the company's president, unlimited AI tokens with a mandate to rewrite 98% of its legacy code within 24 months. The story has drawn attention as one of the boldest corporate AI adoption moves yet, sparking debate over whether large-scale AI-driven code rewrites of mature enterprise systems can actually work.
Why now: People are debating whether AI can realistically rewrite nearly all of a major company's legacy code in just two years.
