It was named Collins Dictionary's 2025 Word of the Year. It's already inside your organization. And in late 2025, it might have taken down Amazon's own cloud for thirteen hours.Three experts break down where vibe coding genuinely helps, where it's dangerous, and what to put in place before it touches anything that matters.In This EpisodeWhy “the pilot is dead, long live the pilot” — and what that means for how mid-market IT teams test new ideasThe 80/20 flip that makes AI-generated code fundamentally different from everything before itWhat happened at Amazon when an AI coding tool deleted a live production environmentThe five questions every IT leader should answer before a single line of AI code gets generatedGuestsGreg Whalen, CTO, Prove AIRon Espinosa, Director, Google Category, SoftchoiceSean Larkin, AI Principal Architect, SoftchoiceSupport Our SponsorThis episode of The Catalyst is brought to you by Veeam Data Cloud Vault — fully managed, secure cloud storage for your backups, with no surprise bills and zero configuration headaches.
