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.
