From Vibe Coder to Code Owner

An AI agent can generate thousands of lines of code in a few minutes. That’s powerful – and overwhelming. You can’t read and fully understand every line anymore when you want to take advantage of agents. But if you’re shipping to production, you own that code. So, how do you take responsibility for something you didn’t write and can’t fully review?

This isn’t a new problem. Developers working on brownfield projects face it every day. You join a team and inherit a codebase with hundreds of thousands of lines written by people who left years ago. You don’t know every line – yet you ship features, fix bugs, and take ownership. But how?

The same principles apply to AI-generated code. What we’ve learned from decades of working with legacy systems and inherited codebases translates directly to the age of vibe coding.

In this talk, you’ll learn:

What brownfield development teaches us about owning code we didn’t write How to build an „Agent Harness” that integrates these practices into your AI workflow, ensuring agents follow your rules and standards
