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

Presenter: Philipp Bauer

When: Wednesday, May 7, 2025 12:00pm Central Time (CT)

Duration: 75 minutes (approximately)

The rise of large language models (LLMs) has introduced a new paradigm in software development: Vibe Coding, a term coined by Andrej Karpathy in 2025. This AI-assisted approach allows developers to generate functional code by providing high-level descriptions, shifting their role from manual coding to guiding, testing, and refining AI-generated output. While Vibe Coding accelerates development and reduces cognitive load, it also raises concerns about code quality, maintainability, and security.

This webinar will explore how software developers can harness LLMs to boost productivity while maintaining rigorous engineering standards. We will discuss best practices for integrating AI-assisted coding into professional workflows, including effective prompting techniques, validation strategies, and AI-aware code review processes. Attendees will gain insights into balancing efficiency with reliability, ensuring that AI remains a tool for enhancement rather than a shortcut to technical debt.

By the end of this webinar, senior developers will have a framework for using coding assistants like Copilot responsibly, maximizing AI’s benefits while preserving the craftsmanship of software engineering.
