Fast Track has used the first podcast episode of From zero to a hundred to discuss a major change inside its engineering team. Co-founder and CEO of Fast Track, Simon Lidzén, speaks with CTO Patrik Potocki about the company’s move towards AI-native engineering. The shift took place over just a few months and affected how developers think about their daily work.

• The episode looks at how Fast Track moved from traditional software development to a more agentic way of building products. For a business where almost half of the workforce sits in engineering, this was not just a software update. It meant asking teams to rethink how code is written, reviewed and delivered.
• Lidzén and Potocki discuss the early stages of the transition, including first tests and internal concerns. Some team members were unsure what the change would mean for their role. The company focused on trust, open discussion and learning as adoption started to grow.
• The conversation also covers the data behind the move to AI-native engineering. Fast Track said productivity gains came in above expectations during the transition. Potocki also noted that he realised he had not written a line of code in three months.
• The episode presents the change as a wider shift in how engineering teams create value. Rather than replacing developers, the focus was on changing where their time is spent. Fast Track’s AI-native engineering approach became part of a broader rethink of software delivery.
• Fast Track’s approach focused on broad adoption rather than restricting AI tools to a small innovation team. The company encouraged engineers across the organisation to experiment with the technology. According to the podcast, AI quickly became part of everyday development workflows.
• The discussion highlighted how developer roles are changing in an AI-driven environment. Instead of spending most of their time writing code, engineers increasingly focus on reviewing outputs, defining requirements and solving business problems. Potocki said this shift allowed teams to concentrate more on creating value than on the mechanics of coding.
