Key topics discussed

• Why clarity must be actively created (not just discovered in data)
• Cross-functional collaboration and building a shared language
• Flip, Pivot, Hack: the three practical strategies for navigating unknowns
• Embedding tactics across the product journey from discovery to retention
• Maintaining momentum and the cost of restarting initiatives

Productized Lisbon - an exceptional conference for product people.

We're honoured to partner with Productized for the third year running - the energy, practical thinking and community in Lisbon make this event a must-attend for product leaders, and we're proud to bring you these live "Talk in Ten" conversations from the balcony.

In this quick-fire live recording from Productized, we talk to Kinga about "vibe coding" - using natural language to instruct AI to write code - and dig into real use cases, limits and practical prompting techniques to get useful results fast.

Key topics discussed

• What vibe coding is and why it matters for rapid prototyping and non-technical builders
• When vibe coding works best (MVPs, internal tools, solo builders)
• When to stop and bring in engineering (integration with existing codebases)
• Prompt engineering: practical tips - structure, clarifying questions, version control
• Community, tooling and how to avoid long bug loops while experimenting

Guest bios
