"On an episode of the Sourcery podcast released on Saturday, Klarna CEO Sebastian Siemiatkowski said AI coding tools like Cursor have helped him build prototypes faster and save time for his tech teams. "I was a business person, and then I just started exploring Cursor," Siemiatkowski said about his non-technical background. The CEO of the Swedish fintech firm said that he has been vibe coding for 20 years, but the nature and speed of the work have changed."
""The only difference is now I'm sitting with a computer and I'm doing it with AI, and it's coming back with the prototype in 20 minutes," he said. He added that his use of AI is also saving his staff a lot of time. "Rather than disturbing my poor engineers and product people with what is half good ideas and half bad ideas, now I test it myself," he said."
Klarna CEO Sebastian Siemiatkowski uses AI coding tools like Cursor to build prototypes faster and reduce interruptions for engineering and product teams. Vibe coding has been part of his practice for about 20 years, but AI tools accelerate the process from weeks to minutes, enabling idea testing before involving staff. The workflow moved from instructing engineers in meetings to producing working prototypes on a computer with AI in roughly 20 minutes. Klarna completed a $15 billion IPO on the New York Stock Exchange; its debut price rose about 30% to roughly $52 per share. The company converted vested restricted stock units into tradable shares, enabling employees to sell converted shares a few days after the IPO.
