Vibe Coding: Tips, Tricks, and the Tool Landscape — Full Stack Devs PDX

Vibe coding: tips, tricks, and the tool landscape
Everyone in the room is already coding with AI. Almost nobody agrees on how to do it well — and
the gap between the developer getting real leverage and the one getting expensive rework is no
longer access to the tools. It's technique.
Last month we put a model in the product. This month we point the models at our own codebases.
We'll start with the one idea everything follows from — generating code got cheap, and checking
it didn't — then walk through nine specific, usable tips: the twenty-minute memory file that
makes every future session smarter, how to make an agent plan before it touches a file, why
three failed corrections means restart instead of argue, and how to read a diff a stranger
wrote. Each one comes with a line you can copy.
Then we stop talking and do it. We'll take a real prompt from the room and fix it live against
an eight-point rubric, and I'll run a real task on a real repo on screen — including the parts
where the agent does something dumb, because knowing what that looks like is half the skill.
You'll leave with three things to change on Monday morning, and a set of offline pages — the
tips, the prompt rubric, and a ten-tool comparison matrix — to take with you.
Bring one prompt that disappointed you this week, and one task you have to do next week. We'll
use both.
Come curious. Beginners and veterans welcome.
SPEAKER
Matt Duffield is President & CTO of Summit Software with 30+ years building enterprise software.
A published author of six technical books and U.S. Navy veteran, he now focuses on AI-assisted
development, local LLMs, and cloud-native architecture — and mentors the next generation of
coders in his spare time.
EVENT DETAILS
Food, drinks, and conversation beginning at 7:00. The talk begins around 7:30.
Parking is free at the Gladstone Park SDA church.
