The Big Debate - Vibe Coding: The Future of Code or the Death of the Engineer?

​Is vibe coding the future of software — or just chaos in a hoodie?

​AI is writing code. Prompt engineers are replacing product teams. Traditional devs are being left behind. The rules have changed and the tools have evolved — but has engineering kept up? Some say we’re in the middle of a creative renaissance. Others say it’s a slow-motion car crash.

​Join us for a no-filter, no-fluff debate at Belfast Tech Week where two teams go head-to-head over the future of engineering — and whether traditional coders are already obsolete.

​This isn’t a panel. It’s a showdown.

​Expect bold claims, spicy takes, and one burning question:

​Can you really build the future without understanding how it works?
