Vibecoding Show & Tell with Dirk Wonhoefer

Dirk Wonhoefer has built and shipped dozens of applications with various vibecoding tools. In this session he'll demo a cross section of these apps and answer questions.

In this show-and-tell session, Dirk will walk us through a selection of apps he's actually built and shipped: internal tools that streamline his own workflows, customer-facing applications solving real problems, and experiments that pushed the boundaries of what's possible. You can preview some of his work at dirksaitools.vercel.app.

### Why This Matters

Most of us have built one or two things with AI tools. Dirk has built dozens. That kind of prolific output teaches you things that someone dabbling never learns:

• Which tools work best for which types of projects
• How to move fast without breaking things
• What's genuinely possible vs. what's still too hard
• The patterns that emerge after shipping repeatedly

This will be a practitioner showing you what he's actually shipped - the wins, the workarounds, and the lessons learned from building battle-tested apps.

### What You'll See

• Live demos of real applications Dirk has built
• Tool comparisons from someone who's used Lovable, Cursor, and Claude extensively
• Practical insights on going from idea to shipped product, repeatedly
• Q&A to dig into whatever interests you most

### Who Should Come

✅ You're curious what "prolific vibecoding" actually looks like
✅ You want to see real apps built by a non-traditional developer
✅ You're trying to decide which AI coding tools to invest time in learning
✅ You have an app idea and want inspiration for what's achievable
✅ You're part of Lisbon's builder community and want to connect
Everyone is welcome - technical or not.
