"infamously boasting that the tech was doing the work of " 700 full-time agents" last year - only to regret his decision months later, admitting that humans play an important role after all."
""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 told the podcast. "I come say, 'Look, I've actually made this work, this is how it works, what do you think, could we do it this way?'""
"In June, Google CEO Sundar Pichai noted that he'd been "messing around" with AI coding assistants to "build a custom webpage with all the sources of information I wanted in one place" - and came away feeling "excited.""
Klarna completed a US IPO, with CEO Sebastian Siemiatkowski embracing artificial intelligence as a central tool. Siemiatkowski previously claimed AI handled the equivalent of 700 full-time agents, then acknowledged humans remain important. He now practices "vibe coding," using natural language AI to write code and rapidly prototype ideas himself, producing prototypes in about 20 minutes. He asserts the practice saves engineers time, though engineer reactions and code quality remain uncertain. Other tech leaders, including Sundar Pichai, have also experimented with AI coding assistants, and the resulting code can create challenges for teams responsible for maintenance and interpretation.
