Session Abstract

Vibe coding in the latest and greatest thing. Agents will make everyone a developer. No need for special skills or degrees. Until it breaks... or the agent looses track of what's up and down, and can't help you anymore. While vibe coding can be helpful in getting something to a prototype stage very quickly, or provide effortless automation for mundane tasks it's important to know what is going on under the covers. Agents don't write perfect text every time and it certainly doesn't write amazing code all the time either. Join the two of us while we create AI generated code for Microsoft 365 tasks, pick it apart, and share some ways to make it cleaner. We will debate different principles based on our development styles and share tips and tricks based on our individual experiences. You will leave with a better understanding of how to tell if your developers (or consultants) are vibe coding, how to review it, how to better leverage AI or other technology to write better code, and how to write clean and scalable code for Microsoft 365.
