Vibe Coding
Workshop
for Leaders

Learn. Assess. Integrate. Rewire Your Organization.

Vibe Coding is completely reshaping how we create software. Google co-founder Sergey Brin noted engineers using AI were experiencing "10 to 100x speedups" in their work. As a leader, you face a serious choice: forgo the productivity gains and risk being left behind, or start having discussions about where to capture this value. This hands-on workshop gives you direct experience โ€” the only way to gain a real understanding of this rapidly advancing technology.

The Leadership Challenge
You Face a Serious Choice
Vibe Coding is fundamentally transforming how software is conceived, built, and maintained. The developer's role is evolving to "product engineer" โ€” deciding what the product should do, while AI handles implementation. As a senior leader, you can either forgo these productivity gains and risk being left behind, or start having serious discussions about capturing this value. We believe hands-on experience will help you make better decisions than any analyst report or high-priced consultant.

The Strategic Blind Spot

Most executives making AI adoption decisions have never actually used AI coding tools themselves. They rely on secondhand reports, vendor pitches, and analyst briefings. This workshop gives you direct, firsthand experience โ€” the only way to truly understand what's possible and make informed decisions about team structures, budgets, and timelines.

โš–๏ธ

The Productivity Paradox

Engineers using AI are reporting 10 to 100x speedups. If these gains are generalizable โ€” and we believe they are โ€” leaders face uncomfortable questions about team sizing, existing workflows, and where to reinvest freed-up capacity. Ignoring this won't make it go away. Understanding it firsthand lets you lead the conversation.

๐Ÿ”„

The Organizational Rewiring

Vibe Coding doesn't just change how code gets written โ€” it changes estimation, team structures, the developer role itself, and how you deliver value. These are organizational decisions, not just technical ones. Leaders who understand the technology make better organizational choices.

What You'll Learn
Theory & Mindset
Based on the book "Vibe Coding: Building Production-Grade Software With GenAI, Chat, Agents, and Beyond" โ€” this workshop combines strategic understanding with real hands-on experience. Led by Burak Erol and Ivan Ermilov, you'll gain both the theory to lead and the practice to understand.
๐Ÿ’ก

The "Why" of Vibe Coding

Understand the fundamental shift AI brings to software development, moving beyond hype to grasp the real opportunities and challenges. Learn why the economics of building software are changing and what it means for your organization's strategy, competitive position, and bottom line.

๐Ÿš€

The FAAFO Framework

Learn how Vibe Coding enables you to build Faster, be more Ambitious, work Alone on complex projects, rediscover the Fun, and gain Optionality by exploring multiple solutions simultaneously. A practical mental model for understanding AI's impact on development.

๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿณ

Head Chef, Not Line Cook

Embrace the new developer paradigm: shifting focus from manual implementation to directing AI collaborators, evaluating solutions, and taking ownership of outcomes. Understand what this role change means for hiring, team structure, and performance evaluation in your organization.

๐Ÿข

Enterprise vs. Side Projects

YouTube and X are full of examples of building games and hobby projects with AI. We'll present case studies of how large, complex organizations are actually starting to capture the value of developers vibe coding โ€” in regulated environments, with real codebases and real constraints.

๐Ÿ“Š

AI Changes Software Estimation

Software estimation has always been difficult. With AI, it's even harder because the variability is so much higher. Learn how to navigate this uncertainty, set realistic expectations, and build planning processes that account for the radically different productivity profiles of AI-augmented teams.

๐Ÿ‘”

Your Responsibility as a Leader

How do you actually achieve the gains in your organization that vibe coding should unlock? This is about organizational change, not just technology adoption. Learn frameworks for rolling out AI coding practices, managing the transition, and addressing the hard questions about team structures and ways of working.

Hands-On
Practice & Skills
You may not have written code in decades, but you'll find yourself experiencing the excitement all over again. These practical exercises are designed for leaders โ€” no prior coding experience required, but deeply rewarding for those who have it.
๐Ÿ› ๏ธ

Hands-On Vibe Coding

Engage in practical exercises using chat, agents, and other GenAI tools to build and modify real software. This isn't a demo you watch โ€” you'll be coding alongside AI yourself, experiencing firsthand what 10x productivity feels like. We guide you through every step, regardless of your current technical comfort level.

๐Ÿค

Effective AI Collaboration

Master core techniques like task decomposition, effective prompting, verification strategies (including "Count Your Babies"), hardening AI-generated code, and managing AI agents. These are the practical skills that separate productive AI use from frustrating trial-and-error.

๐Ÿ“ˆ

Accelerated Learning Techniques

Discover how to rapidly learn and adapt in the fast-paced AI landscape, leveraging AI itself as a learning partner and developing critical judgment โ€” your "warning signs detector." Learn how to stay current without drowning in the constant stream of new tools and techniques.

๐Ÿ”ง

Essential Engineering Disciplines

Learn how to adapt crucial practices like creating fast feedback loops (validation, verification) and building modularity to work effectively and safely with AI. These engineering disciplines become even more important โ€” not less โ€” when AI is generating code at scale.

Who This Workshop Is For
Built for Senior Leaders
& Decision Makers
