VibeCraft Slopathon & Project Showcase - Will YOU be crowned be the A.I. GOAT?
DetailsWhat VibeCraft actually is.
Three things define VibeCraft in practice — not a slide deck, not a mission statement nobody reads twice. A group of practitioners holding each other to it.
Standards Development
We build and maintain the rubric A.I.-assisted work gets measured against, in the open — not a mission statement nobody reads twice.
Peer Review
The Slopathon: every build faces a live, judged review in front of the room, against explicit criteria — not just applause.
Professional Training
Hands-on workshops and build days that teach the practice directly — brought into your own team, not a canned training video.
We hold the work to a standard, not a vibe.
A professional organization means more than a meetup — it means real standards development: a rubric people are actually held to, reviewed and applied consistently, in public.
A Practical Rubric
VibeCheck™ audits a codebase against stated requirements, requirement by requirement, producing a bounded score — the same rubric we hold our own work to.
Peer Review, Live
Every Slopathon build is judged in front of the room against explicit criteria — not just applause.
A Working Body of Practice
The workflows we teach come from what's actually shipped, reviewed, and refined week over week — not a static curriculum.
Know if the build delivers on the brief — without reading a line of code.
VibeCheck™ runs a codebase against an RFP requirement by requirement — the same bar we hold every VibeCraft build to, not a five-minute skim. It surfaces what’s actually there, what’s missing, and what got built that nobody asked for.
It’s a fast, pattern-matching triage signal, not a verified compliance check — built to flag where a human should look closer, not replace their review.
Where the practice actually happens.
Four ways to get hands-on with us, in roughly the order most people start.
Weekly Practice
Wednesdays, 7:45am, San Diego — the low-barrier front door. Coffee, conversation, and whatever's happening in A.I. that week.
Hands-On Tool Training
Practical workflows that aren't a slide deck — built for the job you actually have, or the one you're trying to land.
Networking
Career fairs, portfolio nights, straight-up “meet the right people” sessions.
Corporate Build Days
The Slopathon format brought in-house — a fast, real way for a team to build A.I. fluency together.
What’s next.
Matches, practice, road trips — a taste of what’s on the schedule.

Software Engineering for Non-Technical Builders
Bring the app your coding agent already half-built and a real engineer will help you figure out what it actually did. Ideal for anyone who's shipped vibes but not yet a mental model.

Great Pitch, Wrong Room
Founders love answering questions nobody asked, and this event exists to catch them doing it live. Watch a real pitch get dissected by an investor and a buyer who want completely different things, then bring your own deck and find out what each of them actually heard.

SD Networking Events - August Business Mixer 2026 - North County Edition
North County business owners cram into a room to swap business cards and pretend they're not checking LinkedIn under the table. Allegedly sells out, so decide fast whether "meaningful connections" is worth leaving the house.

Standards updates, program announcements, and the occasional field trip — the same things the rest of us are watching for.
