Nothing worse than a boss who thinks they can do your job.
Perhaps the only thing worse than having a boss who thinks your job can be replaced by artificial intelligence is having a boss who thinks he can do your job for you with AI and wants to show you his work. Unfortunately, depending on your role at the company, Klarna CEO Sebastian Siemiatkowski is guilty of both.
Futurism recently highlighted the CEO’s unfortunate insistence on vibe coding prototype features with AI and then making his actual, professional engineers review his work and try to implement it.
Siemiatkowski recently appeared on the podcast Sourcery, where he revealed his new hobby of cosplaying as an engineer, using AI tools to write code and then bringing those ideas to the desks of the people he pays to do that job. On the episode, the CEO admits he’s never coded before, but he started using the AI-powered code editor Cursor to craft prototypes for new features, which he said takes him about 20 minutes to whip up before he takes them to his engineering team.
