Understanding Vibe Coding
- Vibe coding means AI does most coding work while developers oversee and verify results.
- Trust level with AI varies based on project urgency and quality demands.
Master AI Engineering Skills
- Learn AI engineering deeply by studying resources like the O'Reilly AI engineering book.
- Develop skills managing and orchestrating coding agents effectively instead of traditional line coding.
AI Context Limitations and MCP
- Current AI lacks contextual awareness across projects, requiring manual data integration.
- Model Context Protocol (MCP) is essential as a future standard to connect disparate data for AI.
