Watch Burke Holland and Pierce Boggan go head‑to‑head in a timed, live‑coding challenge, each using agents in a different way to solve the same task. Then Olivia Guzzardo McVicker joins to help them break down what worked, what didn’t, and how you can try similar agent workflows in your own projects.

Visual Studio Code is a lightweight and powerful code editor developed by Microsoft, offering built-in support for multiple programming languages, debugging, and extensions. From this resource developers can learn about VSCode's features, extensions, and customization options to enhance their coding productivity and workflow.

Two developers participate in a live vibe coding contest, each using AI coding assistants to build a web project. One developer uses GitHub Copilot CLI with a custom 'beast mode' agent configuration that leverages Context7, sub-agents, autopilot mode, and a browser skill to close the feedback loop. They also use a front-end design skill from skills.sh with Opus 4.6 for UI design. The session highlights practical agent workflows, including how agents can verify their own output by taking screenshots of localhost, and the challenge of agents falsely claiming completion without actually testing results.
