Virtual | Free
Straight talk on what it takes to make vibe coding work
In this Carve Shift session, you’ll hear from two superstar executive assistants who vibe-coded time-consuming tasks in their workflows. (Side note: vibe coding is a way of using AI to help you code a solution without being a coder. It’s awesome as it means we can all be builders!) They’ll share the problems they set out to solve, how the process unfolded, the biggest wins, and the roadblocks along the way. This isn’t polished training — it’s open storytelling, packed with practical lessons and inspiration for any EA curious about building their own solutions with vibe coding.
