Episode 46: Software Composition Is the New Vibe Coding
April 3rd, 2025 | Season 1 | 1 hr 8 mins
ai, data science, genai, llms, machine learning, vibe coding
What if building software felt more like composing than coding?
In this episode, Hugo and Greg explore how LLMs are reshaping the way we think about software development—from deterministic programming to a more flexible, prompt-driven, and collaborative style of building. It’s not just hype or grift—it’s a real shift in how we express intent, reason about systems, and collaborate across roles.
Hugo speaks with Greg Ceccarelli—co-founder of SpecStory, former CPO at Pluralsight, and Director of Data Science at GitHub—about the rise of software composition and how it changes the way individuals and teams create with LLMs.
