"Fucking mind-blowing": Dinero CEO Martin Thorborg on a year of AI gains

Martin Thorborg, CEO of the Danish accounting software company Dinero, describes the past year of using AI-assisted development as "fucking mind-blowing." Speaking about how the company works with AI, he says that as a business owner he feels he has been given superpowers, as if he can suddenly lift a car with one arm.

That image captures the productivity gains he sees from building software with AI tools. The point is the sense of newly available capability, both for him personally and for the company's development work.

The source also makes clear that the speed comes at a cost. So the nature of the trade-off is not something I can describe from what is available.

The story matters as a first-hand account from a Danish software leader who is enthusiastic about AI-assisted development yet openly acknowledges that the pace has downsides. It shows a Nordic company leader weighing real gains against the strain of moving fast, though the full reasoning and examples are in the original interview, which is not reproduced here.
