Engineers are not a kind of endangered species, according to the CEO of Gitlab, William Staples.
In inviting profits to the programming instructor management programs on Tuesday, Staples said that artificial intelligence coding assistants will increase the number of engineers because people can now codinate without advanced technical skills.
“There is a pseudonym on this, and I believe that many of it are implemented because of the anxiety about the future by the engineers,” Staples said.
Stables said throughout his 30 -year career, he has seen progress in productivity that seems to make engineering skills less necessary.
“This is definitely stronger than other times due to the strength of artificial intelligence,” he said. “But every time I also saw that the higher level of abstraction and more productivity actually produce more opportunities.”
Gitlab, with tools like Microsoft’s Copilot, Cursor and Windsurf.
Staples said that customers are tested by assistants of coding side by side, but it “has not much anxiety” about Gitlab’s ability to compete.
Financial Director of Gitalab, Brian Robins, He said that the coding of artificial intelligence was good for her work. Customers add more employees to their subscriptions, and more software instructions are produced, which help other services in GITLAB to manage.
In the first quarter, GitLAB stated that revenues increased by 27 % year on an annual basis to 214.5 million dollars, slightly higher than analysts’ expectations. The revenue instructions of $ 226 million decreased to $ 227 million for the second quarter from 227 million dollars, disappointing investors. Gitalab fell more than 12 % after Tuesday hours.
GitLAB increased by 11 % last year due to increased subscriptions and increased prices.
Gitlab did not immediately respond to the request for comment.
Using artificial intelligence to write the code, Dubbed “Coding Vepi“by The founder of Openai Andrej Karpathy has risen this year. While some in technology circles say that it tends to do so, the task is shown, the coding is already full of changing the amount Big technology and Investment capital The value of people with software engineering experience.
Earlier this week, Business Insider stated that the Vapi coding is no longer a nice skill. The functionality lists of Visa, Reddit and DooDash and a group of startups showed that companies explicitly require the experience of coding or familiarity with artificial intelligence code generators such as Indicator And it aims.
Large technology is also included in this event.
At a conference last week, the CEO of Google, Sundar Pichai, He said he spent a “delightful” time Vibi coding a web page. Last week, Bi Amazon mentioned it discussed Officially adopting the indicator After employees inquired about using the tool.
