Google employee warns AI could make IT specialists obsolete
A Google employee revealed that since last year, their team has been trying to develop distributed agent orchestrators. Despite various approaches and lack of consensus, the AI system Claude Code managed to generate in one hour what the Google team had built over an entire year. This highlights rapid AI advancements and the potential diminishing need for IT specialists in complex engineering tasks.
According to the employee, the challenge involved creating a complex system for managing distributed agents, which took considerable time and effort by humans. However, after providing a simple textual description of the problem, the AI quickly produced an effective solution, calling into question traditional development methods and the future role of specialists.
This development may mark the start of a new era where automated tools replace many professional IT processes, requiring adaptation and retraining of the workforce.
