After the Vibe Code: How AI-built software becomes production software

A Seattle AI Week community event, hosted by Chapter2 Consulting AI has made it astonishingly easy to build something. But what does it take to make that ‘something’ secure, tested, integrated, observable, scalable, and trusted at scale? Join engineering and technology leaders who have led and worked in both startups and enterprise-class engineering teams. This will be a candid conversation about what happens after the prototype, by startup engineering leaders who have also worked in extreme scale and complexity. From AI-generated code and autonomous agents to architecture, verification, infrastructure, and reliability, we'll explore how software engineering is changing—and what it takes to build systems with AI tooling that businesses can actually trust. Agenda 9:00 AM — Panel discussion Audience Q&A Networking with panelists and Seattle's engineering community Who should attend: Software engineers, engineering managers, CTOs, technical founders, product leaders, and anyone building or operating AI-powered software. Featuring Ward Vuillemot — CTO & Founding Engineer at numerous AI startups AI startup technology leader and hands-on engineer, consulting with multiple non-technical founders on AI & vibe-coded codebases along with contracting on numerous stealth AI startups through his company Monsterorange.com.
