The Era of Vibe Coding: Why High-Skill Engineers Are More Critical Than Ever – Yongjin Lee, Songnae High-school
"Let’s be real: My AI has dementia."
"Vibe-coding in real: Me and My AI is stupid"
Welcome to the "Vibe Coding" era, where anyone can prompt their way to complex code. But as a 17-year-old developer who "bullied" LLMs to build a custom Linux Based OS (MaruxOS) from scratch, I’ve seen the ugly truth: AI is a brilliant assistant, but a chronic liar with a 5-minute memory.
In this session, I expose the messy reality of AI-native development. I’ll share how I battled "Contextual Dementia"—where AI forgets my ARM64 architecture mid-patch—and survived "Mindless Yes-Clicking Syndrome," where a single trusted prompt almost nuked my entire glibc.
Key Takeaways:
The Hallucination Hunter: Sniffing out AI’s "confident bullshit."
The Dementia Doctor: Managing AI’s memory loss to maintain architectural integrity.
The Final Decider: Moving beyond the "Yes-Clicking" trap to take true technical ownership.
AI might be writing the code, but only a real engineer can stop it from burning the house down.
