Google’s CEO, Sundar Pichai, is doing something unexpected for one of the biggest names in tech: casually building web apps with AI coding assistants.
“I wish I could do more,” Pichai said on Wednesday at Bloomberg Tech in San Francisco.
“I’ve just been messing around — either with Cursor or I vibe coded with Replit — trying to build a custom webpage with all the sources of information I wanted in one place. I could type a location and get it all,” Pichai said.
Something I hadn’t considered. AI coding is going to convince managers that they were right all along — that coding can be quick and easy and engineers are just lazy.
For a while at least.
