From Vibe Coding to Vibe Architecting with Abhimanyu Selvan

About this episode

Abhimanyu Selvan shares his experiences and lessons learned from developing a Ride Share Platform for RoboTaxis.

It started with the prompt: "Create an Uber Clone"! Several iterations and some months later Abhi presents his lessons learned when vibing a Ride Share Platform for RoboTaxis at Cloud Native Days Austria! "Commit to one tool and go deep. Don't get distracted by all the options you have. Treat your agent like a human! Get better in expressing what you really want!", those are the many lessons learned in Abhi's journey applying the potential of the latest AI agents that are available for software engineers. Tune into our latest episode and understand what Abhi means when he says: Context is important! Give it Macro Context and do Micro Incremental Improvements!
