AI Code Generation

Though Y Combinator's current cohort founders are all technical experts capable of coding independently, 25% of their startups rely on AI to generate 95% of their codebases.

A quarter of startups in YC's current cohort have codebases that are almost entirely AI-generated | TechCrunch

With the release of new AI models that are better at coding, developers are increasingly using AI to generate code. One of the newest examples is the

Papers with Code - Code Generation

**Code Generation** is an important field to predict explicit code or program structure from multimodal data sources such as incomplete code, programs in another programming language, natural language descriptions or execution examples. Code Generation tools can assist the development of automatic programming tools to improve programming productivity. <span class="description-source">Source: [Deep Learning for Source Code Modeling and Generation ](https://arxiv.org/abs/2002.05442)</span> Image source: [Measuring Coding Challenge Competence With APPS](https://paperswithcode.com/paper/measuring-coding-challenge-competence-with)

Metaprogramming

Metaprogramming is a programming technique in which computer programs have the ability to treat other programs as their data. It means that a program can be designed to read, generate, analyze or transform other programs, and even modify itself while running.[1][2] In some cases, this allows programmers to minimize the number of lines of code to express a solution, in turn reducing development time.[3] It also allows programs a greater flexibility to efficiently handle new situations without recompilation.

Automatic programming

In computer science, automatic programming[1] is a type of computer programming in which some mechanism generates a computer program to allow human programmers to write the code at a higher abstraction level.
