Zoho founder Sridhar Vembu has cautioned software engineers against becoming overly dependent on artificial intelligence for coding and development, urging them to use AI tools while retaining a strong understanding of their own work.
Vembu made the comments in an X post while responding to a software engineer who described how Anthropic’s Claude Code was being used at a large company. According to the engineer, AI was being relied on across almost the entire software development process, from writing specifications and code to creating tests, product requirement documents (PRDs), tickets and reports.
