Takeaway
Vibe coding maps to a maturity curve from YOLO prototyping to disciplined guardrails — VS Code + Copilot agent mode supports all three stages.
Summary
- Frames three stages of vibe coding: YOLO vibes (creativity/speed/prototypes), structured vibes (maintainability), spectrum vibes (scale/reliability/velocity).
- Hands-on demo in VS Code agent mode: disable scaffold-new-workspace, use Sonnet 4 for frontend, popular stacks (React+Vite+Material) so the model doesn't guess.
- Show auto-approve workspace setting as the 'first rule of vibe coding' and emphasizes building trust + guardrails as code volume grows.
- Targets non-technical users (UX, PMs) who can mock up ideas and personal projects (water-tracking apps with kids) via VS Code agent mode.

Original description
Join us to see how VS Code and GitHub Copilot's expanding suite of AI features can match or even surpasses the benefits of other popular AI developer tools. We'll focus on practical scenarios to ensure immediate applicability and work through live demos of Copilot features such as: Code generation using Edits, Planning/problem solving using Chat, Inline terminal command generation, Boilerplate code generation using Agent mode, Improving boilerplate with custom instructions and then refactoring using Agent mode and Edits, Improving test generation and code reviews with custom instructions, as well as an Introduction to MCP.
