Beyond the Terminal. Vibe Coding, Antigravity & the AI-First Developer

Are you still writing boilerplate by hand, or have you transitioned to orchestrating intelligence?
The era of software development is undergoing a fundamental phase shift. With modern AI models, agentic IDEs, and code synthesizers handling complex context windows, the industry is moving rapidly toward "vibe coding"—a state of development where natural language, architecture design, and strategic iteration supersede tedious syntax management.
Join GDG Cloud Thessaloniki for an evening focused on shedding development friction and unlocking Antigravity: the ability to launch ideas into production at unprecedented velocity without losing control over code quality, system design, or security.

What We’ll Cover

• Deconstructing "Vibe Coding": Moving past the meme—what high-velocity, intent-driven programming actually looks like in practice.
• The Agentic Toolchain: How modern developers leverage tools (Cursor, Gemini Code Assist, Claude, GitHub Copilot) for iterative, conversational refactoring and prototyping.
• Antigravity Best Practices:
• Precision Prompting & Context Steering: Structuring context files, rules (.cursorrules, system prompts), and specs to keep models aligned.
• Quality Gates & Verification: Using automated testing, strict linting, and continuous integration as your safety net while moving fast.
• Architecture Over Syntax: Why domain knowledge and system design matter more than ever when code generation is nearly instantaneous.
• Live Demo & Workflows: Building and iterating an application in real time using conversational and agentic workflows.
• Q&A & Community Discussion: Open floor on developer career longevity, technical debt, and navigating the AI-assisted engineering landscape.

Who Should Attend

• Software Engineers & Cloud Architects looking to streamline their daily workflow and eliminate routine boilerplate.
• Tech Leads & DevOps Practitioners curious about managing code quality and automated verification in AI-assisted pipelines.
• Students & Tech Enthusiasts eager to understand modern tooling, agentic developer workflows, and where software engineering is headed next.
