Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong announced that the company made it mandatory for engineers to use AI tools and fired those who did not comply, TechCrunch reports.
Armstrong said that after licenses for GitHub Copilot and Cursor were purchased, some employees delayed using these technologies. He then announced via the main Slack channel: “Start using AI by the end of the week. Otherwise, there will be a meeting on Saturday where you will explain why you did not comply.”
At the meeting, some said they had returned from a trip, but those who delayed without valid reasons were deemed unfit for work and were fired. Armstrong admitted this was a “strict and harsh method,” but made it clear that AI use was not optional.
