Coding with AI: A Spectrum Between Vibe Coding and Software Engineering
AI coding assistants are transforming how researchers write, understand, and improve code. From quickly generating scripts through vibe coding to supporting more structured software engineering workflows, AI can accelerate programming, debugging, documentation, and code review.
This workshop introduces the spectrum of AI-assisted coding, demonstrates practical use cases for research, and discusses both the opportunities and limitations of modern AI tools. Participants will learn how to use AI effectively while maintaining code quality, reproducibility, and critical oversight.
