What NOT to AI: Hand-Crafting Your App's Core Foundation

While AI tools and workflows like "Vibe Coding" can rapidly generate applications, they often fall short when it comes to the core architecture of your software. In the Agentic Coding workflow, developers must transition from being typists to acting as strict architects. This session covers the critical code and infrastructure decisions you must handle manually and should never leave up to the AI. Learn how to define your application's foundation, including your database design, authentication mechanisms (like JWT vs. cookies), and Data Context structure. Finally, discover the importance of using dedicated tools—such as EF Core Power Tools—to update your data context reliably, ensuring your AI agents have a solid, well-defined blueprint to build upon.
