## AI overview

The article describes how Neon designers use vibe coding and Devin, an AI-powered code generation tool, to address UX papercuts and ship production-ready improvements. It presents a confirmation-modal example in which Devin generated the implementation, prepared a pull request, incorporated review feedback, and helped unblock engineering.
