Vibe Coding for Production
Whether we like it or not, the days when developers write most of the code are over. At the same time, AI-assisted coding has a reputation problem. For many experienced developers, “vibe coding” means spaghetti prompts, hallucinated logic, and unreviewable messes that collapse the moment they hit production.
To be fair, the people who abuse this term are also the people who probably fall under this category. I prefer “Agentic Programming” instead. I have pushed thousands of lines of code in production using agentic programming. Code that would have taken me months to write myself now takes merely days.
In this workshop, we’ll explore agentic programming as a disciplined engineering practice, not a toy.
Using Claude Code, I’ll show how to collaborate with AI agents to produce maintainable, reviewable, and production-ready code, without surrendering architectural control, correctness, or performance.
We will cover
- What Claude Code is, how it works, and how you should use it.
- Designing clear agent boundaries and responsibilities.
- How to turn vague intent into explicit, testable instructions.
- Create plans that can run for hours on end, generating and testing code as they go.
- Skills
- Concepts like Ralph Wiggum
- Much more
This is not a “let the AI take the wheel” session. It’s about teaching the AI to work like a senior engineer, while you stay firmly in charge. If you believe AI coding tools are dangerous, flaky, or fundamentally incompatible with serious software engineering, then this workshop is for you.
Requirements
- A laptop with your favourite IDE installed
- Node (we will also cover .NET, but it is optional)
- Git
- A GitHub account
- Claude Code
