Russ Cox Has Left Google

Russ Cox, a prominent software engineer and former leader of the Go programming language project at Google, announced he has left Google. In a post on his personal blog, Cox stated that frontier large language models are 'much better and dramatically faster' than he is at finding and fixing bugs, and urged developers to use them for debugging and code review. He shared a thread of examples where Claude, an AI assistant by Anthropic, successfully fixed bugs, highlighting the growing role of AI in software development.
