AI Cafe: Founder and Vibe Coder at iCodeWith.ai
Founder and Vibe Coder at iCodeWith.ai
In today’s fast-paced solo-dev world, vibe coding lets you brainstorm, prototype, and spin up MVPs or proofs of concept in minutes with no heavy processes required.
But moving straight from an idea to AI-generated code can mean skipping vital steps like clarifying goals, defining scope, and capturing intent.
In this session, we’ll:
Define vibe coding and how it differs from more traditional AI-assisted engineering.
Walk through a lightweight framework—PRDs, feature plans, task breakdown, that channels your creative spark into organized artifacts.
See real examples of how structure improves AI output.
Build a small app live, so you can experience the flow from idea to structured code in real time.
