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.

Today, we’re launching @Uber Autonomous Solutions—a comprehensive suite of services to help our AV partners commercialize, scale faster, and operate at the standard riders expect.

Reverend Jesse Jackson was one of America’s greatest patriots. He spent his life summoning all of us to fulfill the promise of America and building the coalitions to make that promise real. A son of Greenville, South Carolina, Reverend Jackson first rose to the national stage as one of the young leaders of the Civil Rights Movement. His presidential runs in 1984 and 1988 electrified millions of Americans and showed them what could be possible. From Washington, DC to the Bay Area, from the Mississippi Delta to Appalachia, from South Africa to the South Side of Chicago, Reverend Jackson gave a voice to people who were removed from power and politics. He let us know our voices mattered. He instilled in us that we were somebody. And he widened the path for generations to follow in his footsteps and lead. As a young law student, I would drive back and forth from Oakland, where I lived, to San Francisco, where I went to school. I had a bumper sticker in the back window of my car that read: “Jesse Jackson for President.” As I would drive across the Bay Bridge, you would not believe how people from every walk of life would give me a thumbs up or honk of support. They were small interactions, but they exemplified Reverend Jackson’s life work — lifting up the dignity of working people, building community and coalitions, and strengthening our democracy and nation. I was proud to partner with and learn from him on this work throughout my career, and I am so grateful for the time we spent together this January. Reverend Jackson was a selfless leader, mentor, and friend to me and so many others. Doug and I are praying for Jacqueline, their children and grandchildren, the Rainbow PUSH Coalition, and the millions of people across our country and around the world whose lives he impacted. Today and every day, we will carry forward his call to “Keep hope alive.”

This is going to be a big hit in the Khosrowshahi household 🍏🥑🌶️🛍️

Great work to the @Uber teams - we'll keep building and delivering ... Q after Q ... no let up. And thank you to PMR and congrats BKM on the new gig!

Looking good

Today marks a new era—@novonordisk launched the Wegovy pill on @ro. On Day 1, patients nationwide can immediately access the first FDA-approved GLP-1 pill for weight loss at the best cash price on Ro (starting at $149!). From diagnosis to delivery, in one app, without ever leaving their home.

🚨: 107 seconds video of MVP @KamalaHarris in Medford with moderator Heather Cox Richardson, they talked about knowing our history helps guide our future & she said "Thank you to everyone who joined us for this meaningful conversation on the 107 Days tour." 🔥🔥

Compelling new analysis from @HRAAdvisors: Uber drivers in Chicago, Philly & Portland earned $21–$23/hr after expenses. That’s on par with or above jobs like retail and home healthcare - and far more flexible. Here’s Philly at a glance, or click through for the full report: hraadvisors.com/portfolio/uber…

Thrilled for @UberEats to become the new preferred food delivery marketplace for Toast restaurants globally 👏🍔

My mother had two goals in life: To raise my sister Maya and me, and to cure breast cancer. During Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I honor her and her groundbreaking research that changed lives and shaped my own fight for health equity and women’s rights.

1/ @serenawilliams is our newest ambassador at @Ro. She’s sharing her weight loss story to inspire others. She has more willpower than most people on the planet and is the perfect example that weight is not just a matter of “diet and exercise”.

Thx for all you do ⁦@StephenAtHome⁩.

RT @dkhos: Fun to sit down with my mom and @jolingkent to talk about where @Uber is going and where our family came from.

So, say hi and share a note. You never know….👇

Big news from DC—the House just passed President Trump’s tax bill, bringing No Tax On Tips one step closer to the finish line. While it still needs to clear the Senate, this is a big win for hardworking @Uber drivers and couriers across the country 👏

Dearest Joe, My heart is breaking for you and your family. What I do know is your strength and tenacity will persevere. Thank you for introducing me to the person who would become my incredible husband. My life has been simply amazing. I owe some of that to you and Jill. Love, Cindy

Doug and I are saddened to learn of President Biden’s prostate cancer diagnosis. We are keeping him, Dr. Biden, and their entire family in our hearts and prayers during this time. Joe is a fighter — and I know he will face this challenge with the same strength, resilience, and optimism that have always defined his life and leadership. We are hopeful for a full and speedy recovery.

This year’s Go-Get was all about stuff that actually makes life easier and more affordable. Little things add up. Nice work, team!
