In this video, Prof Ian separates the hype from the reality of Vibe Coding, explaining both the opportunities it creates for rapid prototyping and the limitations that remain in building reliable, production-ready software. He demonstrates that while AI lowers the technical barriers to software creation, success still depends on structured thinking—for example, a prompt like "Build a task manager" is far less effective than "Build a task manager for a sales team with task assignment, due-date reminders and progress tracking." He also emphasises that a working demo is only the beginning; rigorous testing, domain expertise and human judgement are essential to build applications that are reliable, secure and valuable in real-world use.
