About Vibe Engineering

Vibe Engineering, as described in the book by Tomasz Lelek and Artur Skowroński (published by Manning), is an end-to-end process for navigating the costs, benefits, and tradeoffs of AI-augmented development. It provides a provider-agnostic framework focused on small, easily comprehensible code increments. The methodology covers agentic coding best practices, accelerating legacy application modernization, AI-assisted evaluation, validation, and refactoring, and how AI can be used in team setup and cross-functional work. It introduces checks and guardrails to identify and address common AI coding issues—from specification through production—while showing how LLMs, agents, and other AI-powered tools can help test, improve, and deploy applications more efficiently.
