Vibe Coding Finland

This group is created for all “Vibe coders”. Whether you are a software developer, designer, or non-technical/business person who is interested in learning about software development and what can be done with modern tools.

Join us to learn more, show your own products, best practices, workflows or best "one shots", or just network with colleagues in the field.

Vision for the community

1. Focused and driven but let's have fun while doing
2. Let's embrace diversity and different backgrounds
   -> Come as you are! Whether you are a developer, designer, product person, entrepreneur, or investor) → Learning from each other
3. Inspired by Finnish demoscene... "From Commodore to oneshots"
   -> "… restrictions provide a challenge for coders, musicians, and graphics artists, to make a device do more than was intended in its original design."
   -> Stretching creativity and technology

Call for speakers

We are organizing physical meetings and are looking for speakers who have something interesting to show and present. We are especially interested in what you have achieved and how artificial intelligence has changed your own work. You can live vibe-code, show a demo, use slides, whatever you feel is a good fit for you!

If you are interested in presenting, please contact the organizers (Jesse). Organizers will need the title of your presentation, a small description, and your intro (title + name). Look at examples from previous events.

Hosting a community event

The community invites other companies/communities and organisations to join the community activities. There's a acute need for spaces/venues!

What is "Vibe coding"

“Vibe coding is an AI-dependent computer programming practice where a programmer describes a problem in a few sentences as a prompt to a large language model (LLM) tuned for coding.”

It’s a term originally coined by Andrej Karpathy and introduced as an LLM-powered way of coding “where you fully give in to the vibes, embrace exponentials, and forget that the code even exists.”

Why did you start this community?

I can only speak for myself, but if there's one thing I've learned in software development, it's that it's teamwork. The best results come when you get people working towards common goals. More than 10 years ago, we were thinking a lot about how to make the work of designers and software developers easier.

These modern tools offer an interesting opportunity and a gateway for even non-technical professionals to start testing and trying out their own ideas with customers. The intention is not to replace skilled professionals, quite the opposite. Instead of writing ideas in Excel and PowerPoint and spending countless hours in meetings.., almost anyone can start iteration and doing some POCs. I constantly come across talented entrepreneurs who have just put their work together, after which they can go to skilled professionals and "do the job properly." I see these tools as an opportunity to collaborate even more and better.

Of course some of the tools (e.g Cursor) have already been changing developers workflows for the better and more productive direction.

Personally, the biggest interest is how much these new tools and technologies can stretch the boundaries of what is possible. I'm not so much interested in efficiency, although that's nice too, but more in bringing together multi-skilled people and removing all obstacles to the creation of something new. Once you've done something trivial once, you wouldn't really need to do it two or three or more times.
