The "vibe coding" honeymoon is over. 😩 If you're tired of AI-generated code that fails in production, it's time to learn about Context Engineering—the new, mature paradigm that top developers at OpenAI and Shopify are championing.

We’ll talk about:

• Why the "vibe coding" approach was destined to fail at scale and how Context Engineering provides a structured solution.
• The surprising data: 76% of developers have low confidence in shipping AI-generated code without a thorough human review.
• The "PRP System" (Product Requirements Prompts), a powerful technique where the AI generates a detailed architectural plan before writing any code.
• A practical, step-by-step example of building a complete AI research agent from scratch using this professional methodology.
• Plus, a free, open-source GitHub template you can use immediately to implement context engineering in your own projects with tools like Claude Code.
