Vibe Coding

Key Concepts

• What is vibe coding: rapid prototyping with AI pair programming
• Effective prompting for code generation
• GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, Codeium
• Claude/ChatGPT for architecture and debugging
• Iterative refinement: describe → generate → review → refine
• When to trust AI output vs. when to verify

Workflow

1. Describe intent in natural language
2. Let AI generate initial code
3. Review and test output
4. Ask for fixes or optimizations
5. Integrate into your project

Best Practices

• Be specific: include context, constraints, tech stack
• Break tasks into smaller prompts
• Always run and test generated code
• Use AI for boilerplate; write critical logic yourself

Code Example

# Prompt: 'Write a FastAPI endpoint that accepts JSON, validates with Pydantic, and returns formatted response'
# AI generates endpoint + model + validation
