Cisco 给工程师无限 AI token，要求 24 个月重写公司 98% 代码
Cisco gives engineer unlimited AI tokens to rewrite 98% of the company's code
Cisco 总裁兼首席产品官 Jeetu Patel 给 27 岁工程师 Padmanabhan Krishnamurthy 一项任务：在 24 个月内重构公司 98% 的遗留代码，并为其提供无限量 AI token。Krishnamurthy 随 Cisco 收购翻译初创公司 EzDubs 加入，此前职级低于其原有经验五级。
In a world where youth unemployment is growing as AI replaces more and more entry-level jobs, Cisco president and chief product officer Jeetu Patel is going for a different approach. According to a report by Fortune, he's given a 27-year-old ex-startup founder — brought into the company by an earlier acquisition, and previously languishing in a role five levels below — a new job to refactor 98% of the company's legacy code within 24 months.
The employee, Padmanabhan Krishnamurthy, joined Cisco after it acquired EzDubs, a translation startup that Krishnamurthy helped build in 2023. While having executive experience, Patel found that "Paddy" was left "buried away in the organization doing something unstrategic."
