When Vibe Coding Isn't Good Enough
Do you vibe code? In this talk we'll look at an alternate way of dealing with prompts as you build your frontend applications using AI agentic editors. We'll look at the pros and cons of "design driven prompting" and how you can use it to create your next app.

i always have a good time at @CascadiaJS. still one of my fave talks of all time there but more imptly the people and the vibe that @crtr0 and co create make you feel the JS community in a way that very very few are able to do.

It’s got everything — a dedicated fan base of 10+ years, close family vibes, long held traditions (the best karaoke!), sublime locale, and a flair for the atypical/creative conf sessions.
Def apply + attend! https://t.co/yqrEbh0icL
The reason why @CascadiaJS is one of my favorite conferences is because you can truly feel the passion and care that everyone puts into it. There's a real sense of community, it's amazing 🙌👏💜

Once again, @CascadiaJS did not disappoint—I love that we have a community-focused conference right in the PNW. It's always inspiring to hear about what people are making, stretch my perspective, and meet new friends.
