From Vibe Coding To Vibe Engineering

Frontend teams have always ridden hype cycles—but LLMs change the day-to-day work: you can “accept” code fast, and just as quickly land in the wrong abstraction. This talk reframes “vibe coding” into “vibe engineering,” focusing on how professionals can collaborate with AI without losing control of quality, context, and maintainability.

• Breaks down what “vibe coding” means in practice and why the definition keeps shifting
• Contrasts hands-off prompting with “vibe engineering” using agents—plus why you should stay skeptical of generated code
• Shares tactics the speaker uses (e.g., voice-to-code, starting from solid primitives, and supplying rules/docs/memory)
• Covers when vibing is appropriate (one-off scripts, simple features) and when it’s risky for teams and juniors
