Vibe Debugging

Vibe Coding is transforming how developers build software — but what happens when AI-generated code breaks? Enter Vibe Debugging. This session explores how debugging is evolving in the age of AI-assisted development, where developers increasingly work with code they didn’t write line-by-line. We’ll cover practical debugging strategies for AI-generated codebases, the mindset shift required, and how tools like BetterBugs bring structured debugging intelligence to chaotic workflows. Whether you’re an engineer, QA professional, or engineering leader, this session will change how you think about finding and fixing bugs.

Key Takeaways:

1. Understanding what Vibe Coding is and why it fundamentally changes the debugging challenge — you’re now debugging code you didn’t fully write.
2. A practical Vibe Debugging framework — techniques and mental models to efficiently trace and fix issues in AI-generated code.
3. Why traditional debugging approaches fall short in AI-assisted workflows and what to do instead.
4. How structured bug context (environment, logs, reproduction steps) becomes even more critical when AI is part of your development loop.
5. Actionable ways to integrate AI-powered debugging tools into your existing workflow to reduce back-and-forth and ship faster.
