Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong revealed that he fired engineers who refused to adopt AI tools after the company acquired licenses for GitHub Copilot and Cursor. Despite warnings of slow adoption, Armstrong mandated all engineers to onboard with AI tools within a week, leading to the dismissal of those who failed to comply without valid excuses. He admitted this approach was heavy-handed but emphasized the importance of AI in the company.
