"Spotify CEO Gustav Söderström said this week that some of the company's most senior developers haven't written any code in weeks - and that a positive development. "When I speak to my most senior engineers - the best developers we have - they actually say that they haven't written a single line of code since December," he said. "They actually only generate code and supervise it.""
""There is going to have to be a lot of change in these tech companies if you want to stay competitive, and we are absolutely hell-bent on leading that change," he said. "It will be painful for many companies, because engineering practices, product practices, and design practices will change." "The tricky thing is that we're in the middle of the change, so you also have to be very agile. The things you build now may be useless in a month.""
At Spotify, some senior developers haven't written a single line of code since December; they now generate code with AI and supervise its output. The company regards AI advancement as inevitable and is committed to leading the transition. Engineering, product, and design practices will require substantial change, and many companies will find the shift painful. Agile development is necessary because work built now may become obsolete quickly. AI is reshaping the global workforce and prompting debates between concerns about job displacement and views that AI increases productivity. Some engineers report that reviewing large volumes of AI-generated code can be more work than writing code manually.
