AI writes 86% of Paisabazaar’s new code

Paisabazaar's chief technology officer, Mukesh Sharma, has revealed that artificial intelligence now writes 86% of the company's new code. This significant shift in coding practices has not led to any reduction in Paisabazaar's engineering workforce. Instead, the company has been expanding its technology team, allowing engineers to take on a larger product backlog.

With AI assistance, the frequency of software deployments into production has increased from 30 builds per month to over 150 builds. The financial marketplace is using AI for code reviews, quality assurance, and generating test cases, but it has not resulted in fewer engineering roles due to an ongoing pipeline of products that need to be built and shipped.

While AI has changed the nature of the engineers' work, it has not led to a reduction in the number of engineers needed.
