The Vibe Coders’ Guide to What’s Next

Hello, and happy Sunday! Last week we hosted a two-day vibe coding extravaganza: On Thursday, some of the world’s best vibe coders were in action at a marathon Vibe Code Camp (more on that below), followed by our first ever Agent-native Camp on Friday, hosted by Every CEO Dan Shipper.
