Vibe engineering is when you take bad vibe coding and apply TDD and DevOps practices to make it manageable.
In this session, we'll look at areal-world project for how I extended DAX studio with a visual query plan.
Session Details
Vibe Engineering is when you take a bad practice (vibe coding) and combine it with all of the best practices of large dev teams: Git, automated tests, CI/CD, strong documentation, and so on.
In this course I'll walk you through a real-world project for how I extended DAX studio with a visual query plan. We'll see what can be outsourced to the LLM and what can't.
