Amazon's HR Lead Uses AI Tool to Write 100,000 Lines of Code - 25 Years After She Last Coded

In an Amazon News blog post, their HR leader describes using AI to write 100,000 lines of code — 25 years after she last coded. “Do you know how empowering it is to realize that after 25 years away from coding, you can actually build again?” First she built a calendar app for her family, but then used Amazon’s AI-powered coding tool Kiro to write an app for Amazon’s internal “Everyone Can Build” event. We opened the competition to every employee on our team, and within just a few weeks, more than 1,500 people were building.
