He delves into the Spotify model, the importance of Agile methodologies, and how AI is transforming coding and software development. Henrik also addresses hiring practices in the age of AI, the role of junior developers, and the significance of architectural decisions in software projects. He concludes with insights on future trends in AI-assisted coding and how developers can adapt to these changes.

Henrik Kniberg

Henrik Kniberg is a prominent Swedish technologist, agile and lean expert, and entrepreneur who helps organizations become more productive using generative AI and agile principles. He is known for co-founding AI companies (Ymnig.ai, Flitig.ai), creating educational content on generative AI, and pioneering practical AI agent platforms. Kniberg has played key roles at Mojang (as a Minecraft gameplay designer and coach), Spotify, LEGO, and other major companies, shaping both their software and organizational cultures. He is also widely credited for making agile methodologies accessible and for the “Spotify Model” of agile scaling, though he clarifies he helped make it visible rather than inventing it outright
