By Lucy D'Agostino McGowan and Davis Vaughan in Contributed Oral Presentation

Abstract

Inspired by the practical problem of chairing a useR conference session, this talk walks through building a Slido replacement in pure “vibe coding” mode — no specs, no tests, just a vision and a stubborn refusal to stop until it worked (sort of). We’ll explore the chaotic joy, the accidental brilliance, and the inevitable questionable code that got us there.
