This happened during LlamaCon while taking about Copilot/LLMs: if the percentages Satya was referring to were for any "auto-generated" code then he was being intentionally misleading.
Besides, you could also say that 100% of code is generated "by software" no?
For reference, the quote is "I'd say maybe 20%, 30% of the code that is inside of our repos today and some of our projects are probably all written by software"
Microsoft has humongous amounts of source code in their repositories, amassed over decades. LLM-driven code generation is only feasible within the last few years. It would be completely unrealistic that 30% of all of their code is written by LLMs at this point in time. So yes, there is something in his quote that is intentionally misleading. Pick whatever you think it is, but I'm going to say that it's the "by software" part.
