Coinbase CEO Revealed He Fired Engineers Who Didn't Use AI Tools (finalroundai.com)

You got crypto on my AI!

You got AI on my crypto!

The worst Reece's Peanut Butter Cup ripoff.

Narcissistic, megalomaniac CEO strikes again - news at 11.

Yes, they do have clowns at the circus. Good reason for any experiment: control group.

Garden variety narcissist and boundary bouncing. Some of those engineers might be upset. They shouldn't; good riddance to that environment.

I should have fired someone who refused to use Nix

Coinbase is still in business?

Who would jump into a Saturday meeting with his CEO? The insanity starts at the top of the story already.

"Truly great tools don't usually require threats to drive adoption."

A lot of programmers (even young ones) are really set in their ways so I'm going to disagree with that. However there are ways to encourage people to try new things without ultimatums.

"Armstrong revealed that 33% of code written by AI now at Coinbase, with an ambitious target: We have a goal to get to 50% by the end of the quarter."

Ok, I strongly advise you don't leave any crypto at Coinbase, it's a matter of weeks before they get p0wned.

Classic crypto tactic, doesn't matter if it's useless, shove it everywhere it doesn't belong anyway!

How dare these employees refuse a request from their better, for an entire week.

Ultimately this is a hiring problem though. They should have tested more thoroughly for prompt obedience.

Coinbase has employees in NY and CA i could be wrong but his admission of a reason for termination now allows employees terminated to sue them for wrongful termination with cause .

Sometimes I envy the salary of US programmers but then I read news like these and I'm happy that in my country you can't be fired for stupid reasons like these.
