Vibe Coding: What I Learned Letting AI Write My Code (And Why You Should Care)

3:00 PM

What happens when you stop writing code and start managing an AI that writes it for you? Over the past few months, I've conducted an experiment: letting AI agents handle most of my software development work while I focused on directing, reviewing, and fixing what they produced. The results were eye-opening: both thrilling and terrifying. In this 45-minute session, I'll share the unfiltered reality of "vibe coding" with AI agents, including: - The productivity paradise: How AI can outmatch your output 10x on greenfield projects when everything goes right. - The maintenance nightmare: Why "machines can read any code" doesn't mean they can maintain any code. - The dangerous comfort zone: How prompting instead of coding creates a slippery slope toward irrelevance. - The knowledge trap: Why understanding the output becomes more critical than ever, and what happens when you don't. Whether you're a developer, functional consultant, or technical decision-maker, this session will help you navigate the rapidly evolving landscape where AI is becoming your programming partner, competitor, and replacement (probably in that same order).
