Scott and Mark Learn to Vibe Check

GitHub hosts a Microsoft Build live showcase where developers demo AI-assisted apps, agents, tools, and workflows to Mark Russinovich and Scott Hanselman, who “vibe check” each project by digging into how it works, what the AI actually built, and whether it’s prototype-only or production-ready.

Overview

In this session, developers present AI-assisted demos to Mark Russinovich and Scott Hanselman. The focus is on pressure-testing the demos with practical questions:

• How each demo works end-to-end
• Where the “seams” are (what’s real implementation vs. AI-generated scaffolding)
• What the AI actually produced versus what the developers built manually
• Whether the result is a clever prototype, production-ready software, or something in between

The format is centered on live demos followed by a technical reveal and critique aimed at helping developers understand what it takes to move from an AI-generated demo to a robust implementation.
