⚠️ Technical Session ⚠️

The next Vibe Coding Meetup on Monday, June 15 at 6:00pm will be a technical session focused on autonomous AI coding workflows.

Join Sam Silver for a deep dive into the Ralph Loop — a system that allows AI agents to code, iterate, and improve applications overnight with minimal supervision.

We’ll cover:
🔁 What the Ralph Loop is
🛠️ Why autonomous coding loops work
⚙️ How to build your own loop
🚀 Shipping an application using the workflow

This meetup is designed for developers and technical builders already working with AI-assisted engineering workflows. Unlike some of our previous sessions, this one will move quickly and assume technical familiarity.
