    AMP 83: Stephen Fluin on Vibe Coding & Angular at Google Next 2026

    In this episode of the Angular Master Podcast, recorded live in Las Vegas at the Creator Studio POD in the GDE and Certified Lounge @ Google NEXT 2026, I sit down with one of the most recognizable and inspiring voices in the developer community — Stephen Fluin. Stephen is a Product & DevRel Wizard, Executive Technologist, long-time Google Developer Expert, and someone who has influenced thousands of developers around the world through technology, community, and education. This conversation is all about something that’s becoming more and more visible in modern software development: “vibe coding.” But what does that actually mean? Is it just another trend fueled by AI hype — or are we witnessing a fundamental shift in how developers build software, collaborate, and think creatively? We dive deep into the intersection of Angular, AI tools, creativity, developer flow, and modern engineering culture. Together, we explore: how AI is changing the emotional and creative side of programming whether developers are moving from rigid structure toward more intuitive workflows how Angular fits into this new world of AI-assisted development the balance between creative freedom and maintainable architecture and whether future developers will behave more like engineers… or creators Stephen also shares practical insights from working with teams, experimenting with AI-assisted workflows, and observing how developer culture is evolving in real time. This is not just a technical conversation. It’s a discussion about the future identity of developers, creativity in engineering, and how AI might fundamentally reshape the way we experience software development itself. And on a personal note — this episode means a lot to me, because Stephen was one of the people who helped me become a Google Developer Expert many years ago. If you’re interested in Angular, AI, developer experience, or simply where our industry is heading next — this episode is for you.

    https://ng-poland.pl 🔐 New episode just dropped — and this one is all about something we often ignore… until it’s too late. Recorded live in Las Vegas at the Creator Studio POD in the GDE and Certified Lounge @ NEXT 2026 🎙️ In this episode of the Angular Master Podcast, I’m joined by Alisa Duncan — Developer Advocate at Okta, Google Developer Expert in Angular, and author of a great course on secure Angular coding. We dive into the reality of security in frontend development — beyond checklists and theory. 👉 Why do so many developers still underestimate security in Angular apps? 👉 What are the most common (and dangerous) mistakes? 👉 How real is the threat of dependency and supply chain attacks? 👉 Where does Angular help — and where can it still bite you? 👉 How should we approach auth vs authorization in modern apps? We also touch on something that’s coming fast: 👉 Will AI help us write more secure code… or introduce entirely new risks? This is a very grounded, practical conversation — especially valuable if you’re building apps that actually go to production. #Angular #Security #Frontend #WebDevelopment #AI #SoftwareEngineering #GoogleNext
