The $3 Trillion AI Coding Opportunity

In this episode of the AI plus a16z podcast, partners Yoko Li and Guido Appenzeller discuss AI coding as a massive, potentially trillion-dollar market. They explore the disruption of the traditional development loop, highlighting the rapid growth of AI-assisted coding tools and the shift in the roles of software developers. The conversation covers the impact of AI on legacy code porting, code review processes, and the need for new tools and infrastructure to support AI-driven development.
