AI-Assisted Engineering: The Production-Ready Path Beyond Vibe Coding

Beyond Vibe Coding: A Guide to AI-Assisted Development A new book by Google Engineering Lead @addyosmani aims to correct the prevalent “Vibe Coding” misconception and provide a rigorous framework for AI-assisted engineering in building production-grade software. I accessed it via O’Reilly’s online platform, and PDF versions are likely available too. Core Argument: From “Vibe Coding” to “AI-Assisted Engineering” 1. Definition and Limitations of “Vibe Coding” Andrej Karpathy once painted a future vision: “I just watch, speak, run code—mostly copy-paste—as long as the ‘vibe’ feels right.” This is “Vibe Coding”—a development approach that relies on high-level prompts, prioritizes rapid prototyping, and …
