10 Fundamentals to get Vibe Coding right with Jeff Blankenburg

About this episode

Jeff Blankenburg discusses the fundamentals of vibe coding and its application in software development.

If you are still treating your AI Coding Agent like a chat bot and not like a development team then this is one more reason to tune into this episode. In his blog post series 31 Days of Vibe Coding, Jeff Blankenburg walks us through all the lessons learned when bringing an idea to life just with vibe coding. His idea was building a website for collectors of baseball cards. With now more than 950k cards from almost 10k players, he has proven that vibe coding, when done right, can truly boost the output of software engineers. Tune in and learn about how to effectively use Git Issues as the backlog for your AI, the importance of going through different phases in your conversation with the AI and why it is important to ask the AI the question: "Do you have any questions for me?"
