Vibe Coding isn't a new topic. We all know it, seen it or have done it. The idea is to explore the current vibe coding environment from development process, code quality, hiring and more perspectives. We'll explore how it has impacted the dev ecosystem today and specially the python developement in general.
Agenda:
- What Even Is Vibe Coding? (Maybe cover some known tools)
- Vibe vs. Value: Is It Helping or Hurting?
- Impact on Hiring and Culture
- The Python Ecosystem and Vibe Culture
- Open Floor: Yay or Nay
Beginner
Anand is an LLM psychologist at Straive. (It's not an official title. He just calls himself that.) He co-founded Gramener, a data science company that narrates visual data stories, which Straive acquired. He is considered one of India's top 10 data scientists and is a regular TEDx/PyCon speaker.
Anand is a gold medalist at IIM Bangalore and an alumnus of IIT Madras, London Business School, IBM, Infosys, Lehman Brothers, and BCG.
More importantly, he has hand-transcribed every Calvin & Hobbes strip ever and dreams of watching every film on the IMDb Top 250.
I'm an AI Developer with a Master's in Physics and a strong focus on computer vision, image generation, and applied AI in e-commerce. My current work blends rule-based logic, probabilistic modeling, and reinforcement learning to design adaptive templates for ad creatives. I also build tools using ComfyUI, pushing the boundaries of generative image workflows.
Outside of work, I’m interested in how AI can make design and content creation more accessible especially for small businesses that don't have big creative teams. This is my second time attending PyCon, and I’m looking forward to sharing practical insights and learning from others building with intent and creativity.
With over a decade in Data and Decision Sciences, I design NLP and AI solutions that solve complex business challenges. Currently a Data Scientist at Red Hat and former researcher at Tata Research Development and Design Center, I have presented research at premier conferences and hold patents, advancing AI-driven innovations.
