Cisco Tasks 27-Year-Old Engineer With AI-Driven Rewrite of Legacy Code Cisco president and chief product officer Jeetu Patel has assigned 27-year-old engineer Padmanabhan Krishnamurthy to rewrite Cisco's legacy code using unlimited AI tokens.
Krishnamurthy在思科收购其初创公司EzDubs后于2025年加入思科，他提议以两人团队完成该任务。
Krishnamurthy, who joined Cisco in 2025 after its acquisition of his startup EzDubs, proposed completing the task with a two-person team.
他有四周时间证明该方法可行，明确目标是在24个月内重写98%的遗留代码。
He has four weeks to prove the approach, with a stated goal of rewriting 98 percent of legacy code within 24 months.
Patel表示，这一决定源于在思科旧金山办公室的一次会议，反映了他让经验丰富的运营者、外部系统思考者和AI原生创始人混合协作的策略。他还提到招募年轻人才以挑战既定做法。
Patel said the decision followed a meeting at Cisco's San Francisco office and reflects his strategy of mixing experienced operators, outside systems thinkers, and AI-native founders. He also cited hiring young talent to challenge established practices.
