Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong is pushing for rapid AI integration within the company, mandating engineers learn tools like GitHub Copilot and Cursor. This move requires all employees to master these AI-powered coding tools within a week or face dismissal. The CEO believes this accelerated adoption of AI in development processes will position Coinbase as a leader in both cryptocurrency and software development using AI. Currently, approximately one-third of Coinbase’s code is written by AI, with the company aiming for 50% by the end of the quarter. This decision has sparked debate: some argue it could cause undue pressure on employees, while others see it as a strategic advantage for innovation.
