a16z Partner: AI code generation will replace spreadsheets, and 1 billion knowledge workers may migrate to software applications

Gate News: On March 11, a16z partner Andrew Chen posted that AI code generation technology will fundamentally replace spreadsheets. He pointed out that spreadsheets are essentially “business logic trapped in a grid,” lacking software engineering features such as version control, testing, and modularity. The development of AI code generation technology will reduce the cost of moving from “spreadsheets” to “software” to nearly zero. Approximately one billion spreadsheet users worldwide are expected to migrate to real software applications, ushering in a new era for knowledge workers’ software development capabilities.
