Zurich JS Meetup #3: Revitalizing JS spring season
Let's keep the ball rolling! On Thursday, March 20th, we’re organizing the third edition of Zurich JS! Details are soon to follow, but we're happy to be hosted by Ginetta in their Zurich office! For this edition, we have two engaging talks, as well as a quick lighting talk!
Amazing Talks at This Event 🎤
Chrome Devtools tips & tricks
🎤 Regular TalkUnblock your productivity with Chrome Devtools and improve your developer life with every line of the inspected code.
Speaker:
A Deep Dive Into Advanced TypeScript: A Live-Coding Expedition
🎤 Regular TalkGet ready to embark on a journey into the depths of TypeScript. We'll be exploring the often overlooked, yet powerful, features that lie beneath the surface of this versatile language.
But we're not just talking theory here – this exploration will be a hands-on experience. Each feature will be brought to life through real-world examples, all done in a live coding session. Join in as we shine a light on these secret TypeScript treasures and discover how they can elevate your coding skills to new heights. Recursive types, type permutations and a css validator written in typescript are just three of the cool topics we are going to cover during this talk.
Speaker:
A.I.D.D. (A.I. Driven-Development)
⚡ Lightning TalkWe’ll explore how AI is moving beyond mere assistance to become a full-fledged partner in software creation. So it will be a quick glimpse how you can use metaprogramming or direct transpiling of pseudocode to transform the way you build and think about software.
Speaker:
From Traditional Dev to the ZurichJS platform in 2 Hours: My Accidental Journey into 'Vibe Coding'
⚡ Lightning TalkWhat's all the hype with 'Vibe Coding'? How did it help me ship ZurichJS at lightning speed ⚡
In this lightning talk, I'll share how I created the entire ZurichJS platform in under 2 hours using AI assistance. Turns out you don't need to be in a Silicon Valley garage with lo-fi beats playing to achieve the mystical "vibe coding" state!
I'll walk through my journey from skeptic to convert as I built a full-featured platform including:
- Next.js with those fancy animations everyone loves 💫
- Backend infrastructure that actually works
- Sanity CMS integration (because content is still king)
- SEO-optimized pages (Google still exists in the vibe coding era)
- Analytics tracking (because what even happened if you didn't track it?)
No fancy prompts or "I whispered to the AI and magic happened" stories, just honest reflections on how my development approach evolved and what I learned by embracing this trend to get pragmatic with shipping things fast.
For developers wondering if "vibe coding" is just another buzzword or actually useful, come hear from someone who's shipped real code both ways! 🚀
