Developer velocity, the speed at which an organization ships code, is often impacted by necessary but lengthy processes like code review, writing documentation and testing. Machine learning PhD Matan Grinberg and Eno Reyes, previously a data scientist at Hugging Face and Microsoft, thought there had to be a better way. During a Hackathon in San Francisco, Grinberg and Reyes built a platform that could autonomously solve simple coding problems -- a platform that they later came to believe had commercial potential.
