Enlighten Designs brings vibe coding expertise to developers in New Zealand, transforming the way software is built.
What is Vibe Coding?
-
Vibe Coding is an AI assisted programming approach where developers describe functionality in natural language, allowing powerful large language models to produce AI generated code. Made viral by OpenAI cofounder Andrej Karpathy, it's reshaping traditional coding and how we think about software development. By accelerating the journey from concept to implementation, it makes programming expertise less of a barrier and boosts AI literacy across teams.

Silverstripe to HubSpot Migration Calculator
Black Sheep Creative built a sophisticated web app, a migration cost calculator that automatically analyses website structure to provide accurate migration estimates. By leveraging AI generated code, a single developer built this tool in just a few days, a project that would traditionally take 1-2 weeks, showcasing exponentials in development speed.
The calculator:
-
Crawls user websites to discover pages and forms
-
Analyses template needs and integration complexity
-
Calculates accurate migration costs
-
Allows customisation based on user feedback
-
-
CMS Upgrade Acceleration
When upgrading clients from older to newer versions of Silverstripe CMS, our developer Alex used GitHub Copilot to dramatically accelerate the process. The AI assistant automatically generated 95% of the code files with 90% accuracy, cutting an 8-hour job to under 2 hours.
This efficiency gain allowed the team to:
-
Fix an additional deployment issue within the same timeframe
-
Reduce migration costs for clients
-
Improve margins on hosting services
-
Make CMS upgrades more accessible for all clients
-
Supporting Your Software Development Teams
-
Beyond building solutions, we help organisations successfully adopt vibe coding within their own teams. Our vibe coding developers in New Zealand offer:
-
Practical Training - Hands-on workshops that teach developers how to effectively prompt their ai model.
-
Change Management - Guidance on integrating vibe coding into existing development workflows.
-
Best Practices - Strategies for maintaining code quality, security, and performance with AI-assisted development. For insights into balancing the benefits and risks of vibe coding, read Ian Kerewaro’s LinkedIn article, which aligns with our approach to best practices.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What makes vibe coding different from traditional coding?
Unlike traditional coding, which relies heavily on manual computer programming expertise, vibe coding uses generative AI and everyday language to produce AI generated code, speeding up development and reducing reliance on extensive programming expertise.
Can vibe coding work with voice commands?
While primarily text-based, emerging models from the AI community are beginning to support voice commands, making it even more accessible for everyday users.
Do I need to have AI literacy to use vibe coding?
Basic AI literacy helps, but our training ensures that a complete tech novice and developers alike can leverage this technology effectively. No advanced computer science or programming language knowledge required.
