~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.

When I read statements like this, I'm always reminded of IntelliJ's rise to fame (way back when …). It generated a lot of the tedious boilerplate code. So, the question is, why does that AI-generated code need to be "written" at all? Isn't it just a (human) legacy that needs to be covered by some intelligent framework?
