Vibe Coding Weekend Bootcamp: The Potential and The Limitations
Yuying Chen-Wynn
Head of AI and Ex-Chief Product Officer
Go from FOMO to clarity on AI app "vibe coding" tools—in one honest weekend.
This isn’t just another vibe coding tutorial. This is a weekend bootcamp designed to help you cut through the hype and BS around AI-generated apps and platforms and get the realities of the amazing potential and the limitations of AI-generated apps. You’ll go hands-on with the top tools, see where they shine (and where they fail), and build your own mini project to test what's real.
Whether you’re a busy professional, side hustler, or just AI-curious, this crash course gives you the clarity to decide: Should you go all in on vibe coding—or walk away smarter than most?
Expect demos, break-it-to-learn-it moments, 1:1 help, and zero fluff. You’ll leave knowing what these tools can really do—and whether they’re right for you.
