Vibe Coding: Shipping Features at the Speed of Thought
AI-first “vibe coding” turns natural-language intent into trustworthy working code. We’ll demystify the trend, show where it fits (and fails) in modern development, and walk through a live build that starts with a spoken idea and ends with a functional feature. You’ll leave with pragmatic rules, an open-source tool-chain, and a game-plan for safely weaving vibe coding into your own workflow.
Learning Objectives / Key Takeaways
- Recognise where vibe coding adds value—and where it becomes technical debt.
- Compare today’s AI IDE landscape (Lovable, Bolt, Cursor, Windsurf) and pick tools that fit your stack.
- Understand what MCP is and how powerful it can be
- Experiment with voice-first prompting (Whisper) to prototype features hands-free.
- Forecast upcoming shifts—agentic IDEs, self-healing pipelines, continuous AI maintenance.
