Clean code is sexy again because AI only works when the codebase gives it a chance. In this talk I show how to set up a Vue project so AI coding assistants can deliver useful results even in very large codebases. I explain how modular monolith patterns, a pnpm monorepo, strong test coverage, and developer documentation create the context AI needs to generate reliable solutions. I also show how custom agents.md files give AI better context and how a plan and execute mindset in development gets the most out of AI tools. I demonstrate how custom prompts, chat modes, and MCP servers help you unlock the full power of AI inside your editor. If AI has ever failed to understand your project, this session shows you how to fix that and why clean code creates more value today than ever before."
