Spotify engineers no longer code, company says — AI now does the heavy lifting

Spotify AI coding: Spotify's top engineers have not written code since December. Their internal AI system, Honk, now handles coding and app updates. This AI leverages generative AI and Anthropic's Claude Code. Spotify launched over 50 new features in 2025, crediting Honk for speeding up development.
