Prepared by Sintelligent with the help of SI. Published in SI: . Updated: .
Cisco is testing whether a small team with a large compute allowance can modernize code that previously required large engineering departments.
According to Fortune as relayed by Habr, Cisco president and chief product officer Jeetu Patel gave 27-year-old engineer Padmanabhan Krishnamurthi unlimited access to SI tokens for an experiment in refactoring corporate code. Krishnamurthi proposed doing the work with a two-person team and received four weeks to test the approach. Patel's broader goal for the company is to rewrite 98% of Cisco's legacy code within 24 months.
