Cisco gives a 27-year-old free rein to rewrite 98% of its code

Cisco's president found a 27-year-old ex-founder 'buried away' in the organization and has now given him unlimited AI tokens with instructions to 'go nuts.' The Gen Z employee, named Paddy, is reportedly rewriting 98% of the company's code. This is a striking move for a decades-old networking giant.
What does this say about how big companies view young founders now?
