Vibe coding: the good, the bad and the critical

Vibe coding in practice: opportunities and pitfalls

AI coding tools help you turn ideas into working software at remarkable speed: from a simple website to a small automation. But “it works” does not automatically mean “it is ready”. In this session, Nick Boucart explores vibe coding through the lens of experienced engineering. You will discover what is realistic without a technical background, when AI-assisted coding truly adds value, and where risks related to maintenance, security, privacy and long-term ownership require extra attention. 
 

For whom?

• SMEs and entrepreneurs who want to prototype and test faster
• Innovation and product leaders evaluating AI tools
• Technology professionals looking to better define the limits and risks
   

Key takeaways

• Where vibe coding has the greatest impact (idea → prototype → feedback)
• Common quality issues in generated code and how to recognize them
• When maintainability and scalability should become a limiting factor
• Key considerations around security, privacy and data handling
• Practical rules of thumb to decide: continue, rework or stop
