Jun 9, 2025

Vibe coding: a profound shift, not just a cool name

Slideshow with Dave Hayward ep05 se01

There is a continuum between consumer apps like ChatGPT and Claude and full AI customisation. In this episode of Slideshow with Dave Hayward, Ed Ortega, founder of Machine & Partners (a client of Europa Creative Partners) and a lecturer at Section AI, demos and discusses “vibe coding,” which is not just a cool name—it’s the way software engineering, even serious software engineering, is being made now.

This is the third in a three-part mini-series about the “AI continuum,” in which Ed and Dave demo and discuss a different type of AI that fills the gap between consumer apps (like ChatGPT) and full custom AI builds. Each episode features an in-depth demo of the AI technology filling the gaps.

Slideshow with Dave Hayward is a production of Europa Creative Partners.
