Spotify: Developers Haven’t Written Any Code This Year, Everything Generated by AI

Glonghui, February 15th — Spotify CEO Gustav Söderström stated this week that some of the company’s most senior developers haven’t written any code for weeks, but he considers this a positive sign. He said, “When I talk to our most senior engineers—our best developers—they tell me they haven’t written a single line of code since December. They are just responsible for generating code (with AI) and supervising it.” Söderström shared this news during Spotify’s Q4 earnings call on Tuesday, telling investors that the development of artificial intelligence is a matter of when, not if. The road to transformation will not be smooth, but Spotify will go all out.
