DETAILS

Get Ready To Vibe!
The "Vibe Battle" is a 20x20 competition in collaboration with Windsurf, designed to showcase the capabilities of AI-assisted coding versus traditional coding.

Non-technical Vibe Coders will utilize AI tools to develop applications, competing against experienced coders who will develop without AI. The goal is to determine which approach yields the best applications within the given time frame.

How is it possible that a non-technical creator could ever compete against an experienced developer? How to level up the game?

Come & check it out with the secret ingredient: Vibe Coding with Windsurf!

Windsurf is a leader in AI-powered coding solutions, offering next-gen AI tools built by developers, for developers.
