Overview

For most of computing’s history, the barrier to building software was syntax. You couldn’t tell a computer what to do until you learned its language. AI has quietly reversed that. Today, the scarce skill is context: understanding your problem, your data and your users well enough to describe them clearly. Given that, the code largely writes itself. Drawing on 34 years in the Asian IT industry building software, data platforms and app development tools, Jin Chong walks through what this shift means in practice, what AI coding tools genuinely do well, where they still fail, and why people who deeply understand a business problem now have an advantage over people who merely know how to code. The session includes a live “vibe coding” segment, where an audience volunteer with no programming background describes an app in plain language and watches it built on the spot. Participants leave with a realistic picture of what is now possible, and a concrete way to start building their first app.
