The Enlightened Vibe Coder: Building software in the age of AI

By Alexis Kovalenko

Since early 2025, "vibe coding" has been everywhere. You describe what you want to an AI, and the code appears. Some read that as the end of programming. Others as a passing toy. The truth lies elsewhere, and it's far more interesting.

This book takes the time to work out what's actually going on. Where vibe coding came from, what it makes possible, where it breaks, and how to take it up without kidding yourself.

Neither a tutorial nor a manifesto, it's a compass for a shift already under way. It argues for an enlightened approach: building with AI while understanding what you're building, becoming the conductor rather than a passenger. And it's written for anyone who wants to take back the power to create software, without waiting for permission.

Alexis Kovalenko is a content creator, trainer and entrepreneur. Co-founder of Contournement, a French no-code training organization, and founder of Hosakkā Studio, he runs the Cercle des Ops, a learning community built around automation and vibe coding.
