What if your non-technical team could ship code overnight?
In this fast-paced Lobster Talks roundtable, Gabriel Jarrosson sits down with Samraaj Bath (Ion Design) and Agree Ahmed (Flowglad) to unpack “Vibe Coding”—the AI-powered workflow that lets designers, PMs, and marketers iterate on real code. They clash over misconceptions, debate the future of frontend engineers, spin our Hot Take Wheel, and stake bold predictions on where AI will reshape product teams.

Why “non-technical” teams touching code isn’t what you think
The real risks and rewards of design-first velocity
How AI is the “combine-tractor” moment for software engineers
Whether VCs should demand a design audit before writing checks
The one debate you need to have about skipping design thinking
