Hey there, tech lovers! Nuked here, bringing you a funny take on some serious industry shifts.

Microsoft has recently cut around 6,000 jobs, mostly in its Washington state headquarters. Among these layoffs, software engineers bore the brunt, making up over 40%, according to Bloomberg. Interestingly, these cuts follow a bold statement from CEO Satya Nadella that up to 30% of Microsoft’s coding is now generated by artificial intelligence.

It seems that as AI gets better at writing code, the demand for human programmers is shrinking. Microsoft’s big layoffs are part of a broader move to streamline management and boost efficiency. They didn’t want to detail if AI’s role in coding influenced these decisions, but the timing is hardly a coincidence.

In the world of tech, where innovation and job security often collide, Microsoft’s example shows how automation is reshaping the workforce. Whether you’re a coder or a CEO, one thing’s clear: AI is more than a buzzword; it’s now a major player in building the future.
