From Vibe Coding to Vibe Engineering

Web development has always moved in cycles of hype, from frameworks to tooling. With the rise of large language models, we're entering a new era of 'vibe coding,' where developers shape software through collaboration with AI rather than syntax. This talk explores what that means for the future of coding, especially in frontend development, and how it echoes the past while redefining what comes next.

#kongresnextjs first talk from @thekitze was the one I was looking for the most, it was cathartic (going through this every day), but brings us again to the tragedy of commons of open source.
