From Vibe coding to scalable agents
Details
# Topic 1
Trials and Tribulations of Vibe Coding and Context Engineering
# Abstract
In this talk Chris share his experiences with vibe coding & context engineering (a) a UI given a live API (b) API tests for the API (c) synthetic monitors for the API using Checkly (d) functional tests (Playwright) using a mocked API and live API. In this talk, Chris shares some of the tools he has been test-driving that could make UI/functional tests much easier and that groks well with the AI-assisted coding workflow.

# Topic 2
AI Driven Development
(Scaling todays AI Solutions to match your pace)
# Abstract
This talk introduces the next evolution of software engineering. We will move beyond the prompt to explore Agents, a structured methodology where developers orchestrate specialized AI agents (Analysts, Architects, and Coders) using rigorous "Story Files" rather than loose chats. Learn how to ditch the chaos of infinite context, eliminate circular debugging, and transform AI from a junior assistant into a reliable engineering partner.
