Brian Armstrong of Coinbase says AI writes 40% of its code

More than 40% of Coinbase’s code was written by artificial intelligence, according to firm CEO Brian Armstrong, and he hopes the figure will increase to 50% next month.
“Clearly need to be reviewed and understood, and not all business areas can use an AI-generated code. But we must use it responsible as possible,” Armstrong Na -Post to X on Wednesday.

AI has been lying with Coinbase ops

“It has enabled in -depth success stories that are not possible 12 months ago, such as single engineers refacting, upgrading or developing new codebases in the days instead of the month.”
Armstrong recently Says In John Collison’s “Cheeky Pint” podcast he fired the engineers who could not give a good reason not to include AI in their day -to -day work just one week after posting a mandate in one of Coinbase’s slack channels asking for its engineers to start using it.
