CODE Presents: Vibe Coding Done Right: AI-Assisted Productivity with Engineering Discipline

ONLINE

Wednesday, May 7, 2025 - Only 6 weeks to go!

Join CODE's Philipp Bauer on May 7 for a 75-min online webinar about Vibe Coding. Coined by Andrej Karpathy in 2025, Vibe Coding represents a paradigm shift where developers guide AI to generate code from high-level descriptions rather than coding manually. While this LLM-assisted approach enhances productivity and reduces cognitive load, it raises legitimate concerns about code quality and security. The presentation aims to equip senior developers with best practices for leveraging AI coding assistants responsibly, including effective prompting, validation strategies, and specialized review processes. Through these methods, developers can harness AI's efficiency benefits while maintaining engineering discipline and code craftsmanship.
