The company’s CEO, Sebastian Siemiatkowski, has thrown the entire company’s weight behind artificial intelligence, 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.
Siemiatkowski claimed that he went from being a “business person” to an amateur developer thanks to vibe coding, allowing him to come up with a prototype in just 20 minutes.
Siemiatkowski claimed his newfound hobby is saving his staff significant amounts of time — but whether Klarna engineers would agree with that sentiment remains unclear.
I took a couple classes at the business school and was surprised by how many business majors were people who’d originally been in the engineering school but flamed out when they tried taking Organic Chemistry. It seemed to be one of College of Engineering’s early required classes and I think they used it to weed out students.
Some of the worst people I have ever worked with are engineers who went on to get MBAs. They often can do neither business or engineering but are thrilled to lecture you about both.
What a shit show.
Why is it always the business majors?

because Business and Economics have been sold as a science when they truly fucking aren’t
