What we’re about
Beyond Vibe Coding — Build Fast, Break Less
No CS degree required. Bring your idea, your laptop, and your curiosity. This meetup helps non-technical founders, operators, and scrappy teams turn AI-assisted prototypes into production-ready products. We’ll go beyond vibe coding—keeping the creativity and speed—while leveling up across the six pillars inspired by the AWS Well-Architected Framework: Operational Excellence, Security, Reliability, Performance Efficiency, Cost Optimization, and Sustainability.
Expect hands-on demos, live teardowns, short talks, and hot-seat clinics. We’ll practice better prompting, debugging under pressure, and the “try → validate → harden” loop. You’ll leave each session with checklists, examples you can copy, and a next-step plan you can execute the same week.
Who it’s for: solopreneurs, product managers, ops folks, designers-who-code, early engineers, and anyone shipping with AI.
What you’ll get: practical patterns, real-world war stories, tooltips, and a supportive local crew.
Come for the vibes, leave with a roadmap.

•Online🍽️ DIMSUM X How to Vibe Code the Right Way 🍽️
OnlineYou’ve got the business idea — maybe it’s a website, an app, or a new tool…but you have no idea where to start building. With tools like Gemini, Cursor, Claude, and ChatGPT flooding your feed, it’s easy to feel like you’re falling behind. You want to start building — you just need someone to show you how.
That’s exactly why we created this Beyond VibeCoding beginner session — a guided, step-by-step experience where you’ll learn to build your first AI-powered web app from scratch, together with the group.
This session is for:
This workshop is designed for beginners and curious creators who are new to AI-assisted coding or have never built with tools like Lovable, Replit, or ChatGPT before. If you’ve explored AI tools but never actually built something, this session isyour safe space to start.
What you’ll get:
- 2-hour live guided workshop (virtual)
- Hands-on mini project: “AI To-Do List App”
- Q&A + Resource Pack (prompt templates & tool links)
Led by Jake Levine — founder of beyondvibecoding.ai, former CTO of Vote.org and AI builder behind https://you-are-here.space/ and two soon-to-be-lauched stealth startups — you’ll leave knowing exactly which tools fit you, so you can go from idea to build, faster and smarter.
