I'll be speaking at RenderATL 2026. Come say hi.

Does code quality even matter anymore?

Nowadays, it is more tempting than ever to ship slop. Your PMs are vibe coding, your CEO is vibe coding, your mom is vibe coding — should you be vibe coding too? Or are you a luddite who thinks humans should still understand what they send to prod? Get in loser. In this talk we will reminisce on the good ole days of handcrafted code, and why code quality is more important than ever in the age of AI. It turns out LLMs are better at reasoning about clean, expressive code than spaghetti. Learn how to fight back: vibe code your own lint rules, build domain-specific languages that make bad code hard to write, and decide once and for all whether software architecture has gone the way of the dino.
