**“Vibe Coding” (氛圍編碼):從 UI/UX 到網站開發 by Leonardo Lee**
你是否厭倦了傳統設計到功能程式碼之間緩慢而繁瑣的交接流程?歡迎來到 Vibe Coding 時代——借助生成式 AI 的強大功能,你的設計意圖可以無縫轉化為可運行的生產網站。
本次由 GDG Cloud HK 和 Hong Kong WordPress Meetup 共同舉辦的獨家跨社群交流會,將為你揭示終極現代 Web 開發工作流程。基於本地行業專家的前沿工作流程,你將學習如何彌合創意 UI/UX 設計與全面網站部署之間的鴻溝。
我們將展示如何將 Stitch(輕鬆實現元件和雲端部署)、最先進的 AI 代理程式(例如 Google Gemini)以及 WordPress 的靈活性相結合,從而以閃電般的速度建置、設計並部署網站。無論你是希望將視覺效果轉化為現實的設計師,還是希望大幅提升建構速度的開發者,本次分享都將從根本上改變你對 Web 開發的認知。
Are you tired of the traditional, slow handoff from design to functional code? Welcome to the era of Vibe Coding—where your design intent seamlessly translates into a working production website using the power of Generative AI.
In this exclusive cross-community meetup co-hosted by GDG Cloud HK and Hong Kong WordPress Meetup , we are unpacking the ultimate modern web development workflow. Based on cutting-edge workflows from local industry experts, you'll learn how to bridge the gap between creative UI/UX and full-scale web deployment.
We will showcase how to mix Stitch (for effortless component and cloud setup), state-of-the-art AI agents (like Google Gemini), and the flexibility of WordPress to build, style, and deploy websites at lightning speed. Whether you are a designer wanting to see your visuals come alive or a developer looking to supercharge your build times, this session will fundamentally change how you view web development.

Stop Guessing: How to Measure and Improve LLM Outputs
Most people use LLMs by feel: ask a question, read the answer, decide whether it “seems good,” and move on.
That works for casual use. It does not work when you are building software, automating workflows, writing important documents, or relying on AI for anything that needs to be repeatable.
In this talk, we’ll look at how to improve and evaluate the inputs and outputs of LLMs using practical measurement techniques. We’ll cover how prompt changes affect results, how to compare outputs, how to build simple evaluation sets, and how math-based methods like similarity scoring can help you move beyond guesswork.
This will be beginner-friendly, so even if you don't know anything about AI, you should get something out of it. However, this will be a little more technical than our intro talks. You do not need to be an AI researcher, but programmers and technically curious attendees will get a lot out of it.
We’ll cover:
* Why “it looks good” is not enough
* How to improve prompts by changing the input, context, and constraints
* How to compare LLM outputs more systematically
* Basic evaluation techniques for accuracy, consistency, and usefulness
* How embeddings, cosine similarity, and scoring can help evaluate results
* Where automated evaluation works — and where humans still need to stay in the loop
By the end, you’ll have a practical mental model for treating LLMs less like magic and more like systems you can test, measure, and improve.
LOGISTICS AND PARKING:
The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks!
The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.

Data & Analytics Wednesday - Learning from Everyday Data
**Practical Curiosity: Learning from Everyday Data**
How do we actually get better at utilizing our day-to-day data? Fancy dashboards and complex models might look nice and draw attention, but that’s not where most of us spend our time. In fact those shiny outputs frequently sit unused, while the real insights are drawn from the analyst’s daily practice.
Sometimes it’s as simple and as powerful as noticing that a segment is shrinking, a channel is underused, or certain links keep getting all the clicks. There’s many different places that the spark of insight can come from, but you have to keep your head in the data and know where to look.
In this session, we’ll explore real-world examples of how segmentation, testing, and click behavior can uncover practical digital marketing opportunities. You’ll leave with inspiration for your own use cases, along with a few simple ways to ask better questions, spot meaningful patterns, and make smarter decisions without overcomplicating it.

IxDA Chat n Pancakes
You can sleep in on the Sesquicentennial (observed), we’re shifting to the following Friday.
But join the local UX community for a chat and some biscuits to catch up. If you were in CA for Figma Config, tell us all the lines and you can tell me how I can animate an SVG without coding it by hand, and why I’d even want to.
Thanks to the team at Nationwide of supporting the group.
