[CPU] How Badly Do You Want Me to Do Another Tech Event?

...which will come as a surprise to absolutely nobody.

Greetings, Programs!

If you couldn’t tell, I’ve been bitten pretty hard by the “vibe coding” bug. I’m almost up to 100 different apps in my arcade for y’all to play with now!

But… what to do with all this enthusiasm, experience? Of course, I’ll keep live streaming my own jam sessions every week. What else have I been known to do with my interests?!

That’s right. I produce events that people enjoy.

So, that’s what I’m doing. Again.

Anybody Can Make Apps Now with AI - Even You

If you live in the greater Seattle area, you might be interested in joining me for a night of interactive tech fun. I shared more information about it to my network on LinkedIn this morning.

Unless you hate fun. And tech. You probably hate tech, I bet.

What Is This Tech Event About?

"Vibe coding." I've been doing it and showing others how easy it is for them to do, too.

ANYBODY can make something real in 2 hours. So, let's go:

• A 2-hour, in-person creative jam to build something real.

• Open to EVERYONE, from total beginners to senior developers.

• We provide the keyword and high-energy atmosphere.

• Build solo or with a team, then possibly demo what you made.

• Fast, fun, and perfect for networking, learning, and growing.

• No programming skills required - use any AI tool to build.

• I'll show you how to get started "vibe coding" if you don't know how.

• Register and show up with your own computer (laptop).

Even if you have no experience with it, if you have a free evening… then you can absolutely join me. And if you can’t make it, I’ll be doing my best to figure out how to live stream the event and repeat the premise every month indefinitely.

I don’t care if you have never developed something before - you can still do it.

What If I Don’t Like Software?

Uh, then… well, maybe you’ll be interested in joining me for another event I haven’t officially announced but the venue for it is already reserved?

I’m also staging a large-scale maker (3D printing) festival for February 21, 2026! Yes, it’s 100% “MakerDeck” branded. Stay tuned for more info on that, too.

Obviously that’ll be about the hardware, not software (though software will indirectly be involved). And if you hate 3D printing, then… uh… okay. I don’t.

You can’t say that I’m not trying to connect with you, though.

What If I Only LIke Clicking Links Online?

Okay. Fine. I “vibe coded” five new games for you this week. Click ‘em.
