From Vibe Coding to AI-DLC: Building with AI Agents Using Kiro IDE
AI agents are changing how we build software and how we stay relevant while doing it. Paul DeLaria shows vibe coding in action,using Kiro IDE and AI agents to accelerate real-world SA workflows from architecture to deployment. John Husemoller then takes you from vibe coding to the AI Development Life Cycle (AI-DLC), a structured operating model with three phases (Inception, Construction, Operation) where AI creates plans, humans verify and refine, AI then executes, and each step builds richer context for the next. Whether you're excited about AI or anxious about what it means for your role, this session shows you where you fit: humans drive the intent, AI accelerates the execution, and together you ship faster than either could alone. Leave with both the inspiration to start and the framework to mature.
