AI for DevX @coinbase

[kyle cesmat @kylecesmat]

@grah4m @wesbos +1 - I sometimes take for granted just how AI native our engineering practices are in relation to the broader industry.

When I did this interview we were just ramping-up our tools. Today we have clear quality & productivity signals guiding us - And still so much runway!

[NASA @NASA]

We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.

@dillon_mulroy not my AI agent going out of its way to avoid making this tool call

Hey, I made this chart and this is what my team has been working on the last year.

Happy to share more thoughts about our strategy beyond LOC. While this is a super-simple metric to understand, it's not the only measure.

Turns out AI also causes a lot of devx pain 🧵

[Brian Armstrong @brian_armstrong]

~40% of daily code written at Coinbase is AI-generated. I want to get it to >50% by October.

Obviously it needs to be reviewed and understood, and not all areas of the business can use AI-generated code. But we should be using it responsibly as much as we possibly can.

[kyle cesmat @kylecesmat]

AI is simply another tool in the toolbox. In order to be effective, engineers need a stable platform for change management and are expected to own the code they produce.

I shared most of these thoughts in the attached post @brian_armstrong shared. We're excited to see engineers embrace AI in all parts of their daily workflow, and we're moving faster + safer than ever now thanks to this cultural shift 🚀

@Andrei_Calazans and make sure that second argument is a lightweight compare, because in most cases it will be a noop and in other cases it needs to handle complex values

@mileswjohnson ahh i went in 2018, top conf i’ve been to. great mashup of people & made great friends that trip!

@yukiasa_ @DesigningUber yo @parker_ziegler 👀

@dillon_mulroy we turned off type-aware rules in an effort to reduce our carbon footprint

I love to see the @coinbase app be a React Native success story!

[kyle cesmat @kylecesmat]

@poteto so excited to use this!! Seeing its only available as a babel plugin today, is there a world where an SWC plugin would be made available?

[kyle cesmat @kylecesmat]

This is the kind of work enabled by folx at @coinbase like @bgoutham @willrobinson23 @jsteran @pankaj @maxbranzburg who focus daily on building the best platform to ship world-class products 💪

If you visit https://t.co/n1TuXXGF5E you're now using a server-rendered platform powered by @vite_js!

🚚 ~200kb module reduction
⚡️ 2x faster local + CI builds
👨‍💻 Instant reloads for engineers
📦 Enabling ESM very soon

We're now working on rolling Vite out to all of @coinbase

Shoutouts to the small group of engineers on my team who pulled this migration off AT SCALE 💪

If this type of work sounds interesting let me know! The App Infra team at Coinbase focuses entirely on Web + Mobile platform, tooling, and enabling quality UX 🪄
