The VIBE Is Off: Trend, Meme or Red Flag?

What does it really mean to “vibe” while coding?

AI-assisted vibe coding puts developers in a high-energy flow state—but skipping reviews, tests, or security hygiene can lead to leaks, dependency sprawl, and long-term tech debt.

In this session, we’ll explore the culture of vibe coding - why developers crave it, where it goes wrong, and how to channel the flow without killing the vibe. Through real-world examples, you’ll see how lightweight guardrails help teams move fast and build creatively, without sacrificing security or maintainability.

Whether you’re coding or managing a team, you’ll leave with practical tools to balance flow, innovation, and accountability—so you can vibe with both confidence and creativity.
