Spotify's Top Engineers Have Stopped Coding: Welcome to the Age of "Vibe Coding"

CEO Gustav Söderström Claims Senior Devs Now Just "Supervise" AI Code

Artificial Intelligence Coding

In a shocking revelation during Spotify's Q4 earnings call, CEO Gustav Söderström announced that the company's most elite software engineers haven't written a single line of code since December. Instead, they have fully embraced a new paradigm: Vibe Coding .

The days of manually typing syntax may be numbered for top-tier developers. Söderström stated, "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… They actually only generate code and supervise it."

This shift signals a massive transformation in software engineering. Artificial Intelligence is no longer just an assistant; it is becoming the primary author of codebases, with humans acting as architects and quality controllers. For aspiring developers, the message is clear: mastering AI tools might soon be more critical than memorizing syntax.
