This event is open to everyone!
We are pleased to announce the event “Vibe-a-thon” at BC410, OCT-E34 in Oerlikon and online on Tuesday, 15 December, from 13:00 to 17:00.
Abstract
During the RSECon26, I asked various people the question “how do you collaborate on purely vibe-coded software”. Many people were curious themselves about the answer, so I thought it would be an interesting experiment to do!
Thus we are organising a 4h VIBE-A-THON on Tuesday, the 15th of December from 1pm to 5pm.
Participants will work on the same project that has yet to be determined, using their favourite LLM tools.
We’ll collect as much anonymised data as possible and then search for inflection points where collaboration improved or worsened.
If you’re interested, please sign up here before the 27th of November.
The time after that is for final preparations and deciding which project to work on.
Preparation
After the sign-up phase, we will take the following steps:
- Assign groups of two to three people.
- Announce all open-space meeting rooms (we will provide one at EPFL and one at ETHZ).
- Ask you to accept our privacy policy and rules.
- If we secure sponsors for LLM tokens, we will set up your LLM tools to use our API endpoints.
The day of the Vibe-a-thon
The location depends on the availability of rooms: You can either meet physically with your group, join an open space (there will be at least one at EPFL and one at ETHZ), or join online.
Setup:
- One project
- One gitlab repo, empty
- One LaSuite-Meet video conference
- One matrix space
- Many many tokens
- 4h of time
Follow-up
We’ll create an anonymised dataset which we publish under a CC license, so interested people can have a look at it themselves. Then we’ll create a short evaluation and look which insights are useful in the context of LLMs:
- which types of collaboration advanced the project the most?
- what activities / steps improved the collaboration?
- what important decisions have been made?
If there is interest, we consider a Vibe-a-thon II where we implement some of the findings of our evaluation.
Signup
If you’re interested to join remotely, at ETHZ or EPFL or with a local group, please sign up here before the 27th of November. You can also suggest a project to work on.
