Ask HN: What would you include in an academic workshop on vibe coding?
1 point by cximenez 2 hours ago | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment
I'm the resident AI librarian at a research university, and we've received a request to host a vibe coding workshop next month. I have several ideas of what to demo, but I wanted to ask the HN community what they might recommend to include. The format will be 3 hours including initial setup support, experimentation time, and a brief showcase at the end.

What kinds of tools, sites, workflows, articles, vibe-y code-y things etc., do you think folks at a research university might find useful to cover at such a workshop?

1. "ye old prompte" vs goals / loops / evals - how to utilize models in the best way is changing rapidly (exemplify with karpathy's autoresearch)

2. agent harness - which harness fits best to the kind of work you are trying to do. pi vs claude code vs conductor.build etc.

3. repo harness - how do you set up your repo for agents to (hypothetically) work consistently across vendors/models (claude.md, architecture.md, engineering.md - git hooks, agent hooks, etc)

4. privacy - ensure using the correct settings to (at least hypothetically) avoid models being trained on your unpublished research
