Vibe Coding Is Dead. Long Live Vibe Orchestration.

A Hands-On Workshop from Orange County AI

Collins Dictionary named "vibe coding" the Word of the Year 2025. Andrej Karpathy described it as "fully giving in to the vibes and forgetting that the code even exists."

But here's what the headlines don't tell you: the developers actually winning aren't just vibing—they're orchestrating.

Everyone in Silicon Valley Is Talking About This.

NYT tech columnist Kevin Roose put it bluntly:

"I follow AI adoption pretty closely, and I have never seen such a yawning inside/outside gap. People in SF are putting multi-agent Claude swarms in charge of their lives, consulting chatbots before every decision... People elsewhere are still trying to get approval to use Copilot in Teams, if they're using AI at all. There seems to be a cultural takeoff happening in addition to the technical one."

Orange County doesn't have to be on the outside.

What You'll Build

This isn't a lecture. It's a hands-on workshop.

By the end of the afternoon, you'll have set up your own autonomous AI agent that:

  • 📧 Monitors your email and surfaces what matters

  • 💬 Connects to WhatsApp so you can command it from your phone

  • Takes actions on your behalf—drafting responses, organizing information, executing tasks

  • 🧠 Remembers context across conversations and gets smarter over time

You'll leave with a working system—your own AI assistant that runs while you sleep.

What You'll Learn

  • Claude Code fundamentals: The terminal-based AI powering this revolution

  • The agent architecture: How to connect Claude to your email, messaging apps, and workflows

  • From vibe coding to vibe orchestration: Managing AI that works autonomously

  • When to trust, when to verify: Building guardrails that keep you in control

  • The tools and techniques that are separating builders from bystanders

Who This Is For

  • Solopreneurs who want a 24/7 assistant without hiring anyone

  • Consultants and freelancers drowning in email and admin work

  • Founders looking to automate before they can afford to delegate

  • Ambitious professionals ready to operate at a different level

  • Developers who want to see what agentic AI actually looks like in practice

No coding experience required—though developers will find plenty of depth here too.

The Details

🗓 Friday, February 21st, 2026 🕛 12:00 PM (Noon) 📍 Hanahaus, Orange County

Want to build along with us? Bring a laptop and we'll get you set up in real-time. Prefer to watch and learn first? That works too—you'll leave with everything you need to set it up on your own.

The Numbers Don't Lie

  • 84% of developers now using AI coding tools

  • 25% of Y Combinator's latest batch built 95% of their code with AI

  • Clawdbot hit 60,000+ GitHub stars in days

  • Developer productivity gains of 3-5x on common tasks

The question isn't if you'll adopt these tools. It's whether you'll be ahead of the curve or scrambling to catch up.
