For example, this morning I was reading [1] and it had the following claim: “ If you really want to grasp how much better A.I. has gotten recently, talk to a programmer. A year or two ago, A.I. coding tools existed, but were aimed more at speeding up human coders than at replacing them. Today, software engineers tell me that A.I. does most of the actual coding for them, and that they increasingly feel that their job is to supervise the A.I. systems.

Jared Friedman, a partner at Y Combinator, a start-up accelerator, recently said a quarter of the accelerator’s current batch of start-ups were using A.I. to write nearly all their code.”

As a programmer myself, whenever I read this I feel like there’s a giant group chat going on and I’m excluded. I use AI in my work, mostly through Zed assistant, but with the latest available models the output and reasoning is nowhere in quality where I’d let it generate majority of the code and ship it to production.

Am I missing something? Do people really generate majority of the code that then successfully operates in production at any significant business scale?

ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re seeking an experienced Full Stack Software Engineer to join our growing team and help build the cornerstone of our business: our Law Enforcement Response portal. Kodex is an early stage startup so each engineer wears multiple hats. You will work as part of a small, talented team that includes engineers with experience at successful companies like Medium, HashiCorp, Microsoft, Mozilla, Meta, and Uber. In this role, you will:

- Work closely with our Director of Product to design, develop, and enhance features for our portal.

- Lead projects to optimize system performance, including database usage, encryption middleware, and front-end responsiveness.

- Participate in our on-call rotation (about one week every two months), where you'll address support requests, monitor metrics, and respond to incidents to ensure reliability.

- Review code and contribute to improving engineering best practices.

This role is ideal for full-stack generalists with T-shaped skills who thrive in fast-paced environments and enjoy taking ownership.

We're fully remote, the team is distributed across the continent. We meet up twice a year in various locations around the United States (past meetups were in Miami, Nashville, Seattle, and San Francisco).

We don't sponsor visas.

ABOUT KODEX

Kodex creates software that helps private companies handle lawful data requests from governments. Our founders have seen firsthand how difficult it is for public and private sectors to collaborate effectively–preventing real-world harm while respecting user privacy. Slow processes, clunky tools, and misuse by bad actors were common problems. Kodex was built to fix that.

Our platform streamlines case management for Law Enforcement Response and Trust & Safety teams. It combines secure workflows, communication, and file transfers with features like document encryption, audit trails, agency verification, account takeover detection, and API integrations—delivering a complete legal response solution.

Founded in 2021 and backed by Y Combinator and Andreessen Horowitz, Kodex helps companies securely and efficiently respond to data requests on time.

In my experience that’s how recruiters work and the only thing it indicates is that the company has open roles to fill.

Business email compromise (phishing, etc.) is the most common way attackers get into corporate systems. We're working on solving that issue. We've already found our product-market fit and we're now looking for people to help execute through the next phase of our growth.

There are many roles open, check the link above. For my team specifically we're looking for Python & Go engineers to work on our portal and other customer-facing products. We're also looking for people who can help us re-build our foundations to unlock the next phase of Abnormal growth.

Feel free to apply through the link above or email me at anton@[companyname].com
