How to Make Your Team AI First: Pragmatic Vibe Coding at Superhuman

In this talk, I've condensed one year of my personal experience with AI coding agents and Superhuman engineers' experience into a set of patterns and anti-patterns we've observed from our numerous successful and failed experiments. I will share a pragmatic view on how to up-level your personal productivity as a software engineer and how to rebuild your team processes to become AI first. I will share the story of how I abandoned text editors forever in favour of Claude Code. I'll also share how Superhuman uses AI for every step of the software development process, including code reviews, infrastructure migrations, feature development, and production monitoring. We will discuss the challenges of organizational transformation and how to avoid cargo-culting AI adoption and AI slop in your production systems.
