What is Vibe Engineering for developers?

Vibe Engineering means architecting first — constraints, gates, decomposition — before prompting AI. Turns haphazard chats into disciplined orchestration for 5x gains.

Why do AI tools slow down developers?

Without structured training, vague prompts amplify slop: 19% slower per METR. Top users architect ahead, hitting 2-5x speed.

Does AI training replace coding workshops?

It measures them. Unlimited practice, radar progress, coaching — far beyond one-off sessions that fade in weeks.
