How to say "I love coffee" without saying a word.

Agentic software engineering adoption is on fire at @Uber. 1,800 code changes per week are now written entirely by Uber's internal background coding agent, and 95% of our engineers now use AI every month across all the tools we track. This is a real reset moment for engineering; it's one of the most exciting times to lead. This shift requires builders to be curious and hands-on. I’m incredibly lucky to be surrounded by a team that’s doing exactly that. The best part is that the strongest adoption isn’t being pushed top down from leadership announcements; it’s coming from engineers who are quietly experimenting, quietly shipping, and quietly pushing things forward. I love spending time with those engineers because there’s no substitute for being close to the work. Over the last few months, we leaned in hard, and the results have been phenomenal. The bigger shift: going agentic. 84% of AI users are now working with agent-style workflows, not just tab completion. Claude Code usage nearly doubled in 2 months (32% → 63%), while IDE-based tools have largely plateaued. Engineers are moving from accepting suggestions to delegating tasks. Even within traditional IDEs, ~70% of committed code is now AI-generated. Background agents are writing code autonomously. Our internal background coding agent went from <1% of all code changes to 8% in just a few months. There is zero human authoring. Engineers review and approve, but the code is written entirely by AI agents. The role of the engineer is shifting - from writing every line to architecting systems and reviewing AI-generated code. More to come from the @UberEng team in the coming days.

“Because if you 10x a single developer, then 10 developers can do 100x” (c) I do agree.

🚨 “90% of code will be written by AI.” So… is this the end of developers? At VivaTech in Paris, I asked @github's CEO Thomas Dohmke. His answer? ❌ “No — it’s the BEST time ever to be a developer.” Here’s why 👇

Everyone should use AI for coding. I’ve just build a Next JS UI MVP in a couple of hours!

It feels like everyone now builds an MCP. I hope soon MCPs will be like API - exposed by the service owner.

@jaltma Looks awesome! I'm learning how to do latte art at home and it is a more complex task than writing code.

I feel that most of people want to help others but don’t have time to answer all questions. I would like to ask successful entrepreneurs some stupid questions, and for sure can pay for it.

Roast my product idea: AI model that has been trained on your messages/emails/etc, that has same opinions as you. And public chat/API to ask questions.

Once I joined Uber I started working with monorepo and Bazel remote builds. Now I can say that it saves a lot of time and you should consider having a monorepo instead of N repositories for every microservice. What is your opinion on mororepo?
