Engineers at Coinbase are getting closer to recursive self-improvement, or loops. For instance, agents can now ingest and summarize customer feedback collected right in the app, prioritize bugs and features based on that feedback, draft the code, security review it, and provide it to a human engineer for final review. All happens automatically each day and it learns from the human edits to improve over time. We're finding more areas to introduce loops across the company. Instead of prompting agents with what to do, you can increasingly give them a goal, and they bring back high quality work for you to review.
The fundamentals of engineering haven't changed, but the daily work has. We're managing agents, building loops and taste and judgment matter more than ever. So we rebuilt how we hire engineers from scratch to match how we build. Here's what we've been up to @ Coinbase: https://www.coinbase.com/blog/interviewing-engineers-in-the-ai-era-lessons-from-a-year-of-rebuilding
