C Creator Critiques AI Coding; Salesforce Restructures Workforce with AI Integration

Bjarne Stroustrup, creator of the C programming language, expressed skepticism about AI-generated code, citing issues like bugs, security flaws, and inefficiency, leading some senior coders to retire rather than work with AI tools. Meanwhile, Salesforce is restructuring its workforce by deploying AI agents to handle routine tasks, retraining around 3,000 employees for sales roles, and flattening management layers to adapt to AI-driven productivity improvements.
