Vibe Coding Lisbon

**Details** This meetup is a social coding jam where we use AI to quickly turn fun ideas into functional prototypes. Whether you’re an experienced developer or have never written a line of code, you’ll fit right in. You can use any AI tools you like (ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, Replit, whatever!) and see what you can build together before the last orders. **Format** After an opening presentation, we’ll be **teaming up in small groups** (2–3 people). Everyone gets the same open-ended challenge (or a choice between two), and then it’s heads-down building with your teammates. The goal is to vibe, learn from each other, and see where the collaboration takes us. Not in the mood for group work? No problem — you’re welcome to follow your own idea and build solo. Everyone’s included. **New to vibe coding?** No worries! We begin with a **presentation** by vibe coding experts Ivan Franco and Heldiney Pereira, who will explain their perspectives and insights. We’ll also share a **simple starter guide** with example prompts and tips so even total beginners can dive in without stress. **Schedule** **(Doors open early so we can settle in — aim to arrive by 6:45 so we can kick off on time)** * 7:00 – Presentation: TBA * 7:15 – Presenting the assignment + team formation * 7:20 – Round 1: Build together * 8:00 – Break (grab a drink, swap ideas, hang out) * 8:20 – Round 2: Keep building * 8:50 – Optional demos * 9:10 – Hang out, network, make friends **Who it’s for** Curious coders, tinkerers, designers, artists, entrepreneurs, and anyone who wants to explore AI-powered creativity in a fun, social pub setting. **What to bring** * Laptop * Vibes **Location** TBA 👉 No pressure, no gatekeeping. Just good people, fun ideas, and some fast-paced collaborative building.
