Unlocking AI’s Potential in Software Engineering 🔍💻
I recently shared insights during a tech talk at Recurse Center on leveraging AI in software engineering. Here are the key takeaways:
-
AI as an Eager Engineer: Think of AI as a supercharged junior engineer—fast, knowledgeable, yet needing guidance in hands-on tasks.
-
Three Approaches:
- Vibe Coding: Quick and hands-off; often produces lower-quality code.
- Vibe Engineering: Combines speed with oversight for production-ready stability.
- Traditional Engineering: Slow, detail-oriented craftsmanship for critical infrastructures.
-
Future Focus: Vibe Engineering balances speed and quality, optimizing for different project needs.
The AI Loop: Embrace the standard cycle—Plan, Build, Review. Enhance each phase with layered specifications, checklists, and diverse AI perspectives.
