We’re entering a new phase of software development — often referred to as “vibe coding.” It’s not about typing less code. It’s about working at a higher level of intent.

What “Vibe Coding” Really Means

Vibe coding is when developers:

• Describe what they want to build
• Let AI agents handle how to implement large parts of it
• Iterate through conversation, feedback, and refinement

The developer shifts from line-by-line execution to direction, review, and orchestration.

How AI Agents Change the Workflow

AI agents can now:

• Generate scaffolding, tests, and docs
• Refactor existing codebases
• Debug and explain unfamiliar code
• Chain tasks across repos, APIs, and tools
• Maintain context across longer workflows

This turns development into a collaborative loop:

Intent → AI execution → human judgment → refinement

Why This Matters for Enterprises

For enterprises, vibe coding impacts:

• Developer productivity and onboarding
• How standards and guardrails are enforced
• Code review and ownership models
• Security and compliance expectations
• The skills developers need to grow

This isn’t just a tooling shift — it’s a workflow and operating model shift.

The Real Opportunities and Risks

Organizations that win will:

• Assume AI agents are part of the dev team
• Redesign workflows intentionally
• Invest in guardrails, not just tools
• Train developers to collaborate with AI, not blindly trust it

Those that don’t will struggle with:

• Inconsistent code
• Hidden risk
• AI-assisted chaos at scale

Are your developers already vibe coding — intentionally or not?
