Have a great app idea but don’t know how to code? Welcome to the era of Vibe Coding! In this weekly Lunch and Learn session, I break down how anyone can build a working software prototype using just plain language and AI.

In this video, we explore the shift from traditional, expensive software development to AI-assisted “vibe coding” where you provide the vision and the AI handles the execution. We’ll walk through the pros and cons, including speed and accessibility versus security and AI hallucinations and show a real-world demo of an app built in just four hours using tools like Claude and Lovable.
