Uber engineer describes internal developer tools and AI setup on podcast

Uber engineer Uday Kiran Medisetty describes Uber's developer tooling in an episode of Gergely Orosz's podcast, according to a post by Orosz on X. Medisetty covers DevPods, an MCP gateway, Cortana and Minion.

Orosz's post highlights three details: cities are a first-class concept tied to cloud regions, a Model Gateway lets Uber switch between Anthropic, OpenAI and open models, and Uber tags pull requests as feature, bugfix, maintenance, testing or docs.

Orosz says feature PRs have risen and maintenance PRs have fallen since the tagging began. The post does not give figures for these changes.
