Vibecoding is entirely antithetical to demos.

Demos aren't just pretty visuals. Their entire purpose is to showcase the skills of the programmer in accomplishing something remarkable within a constrained environment, or within artificially imposed constraints. Using exorbitant amounts of resources to run a machine learning model to generate a muddy mixture of existing demos goes completely against this spirit. The idea of the two together is, frankly, repulsive.

Be repulsed then! We are doing the workshop specifically to explore this tension. I’m well aware that times are weird.

This workshop is actually a forerunner to a workshop on demos with quantum computers, where the constraints are very real and creative participation is very lacking.

The game is to see who can prompt the LLM spit out the tightest code!! Sergey Brin says threatening the LLM works in a pinch!
