Moving away from github
Possibly hosted by Amélie C
In this session we would take the SoCraTes UK website (source code currently on github and served via gh-pages) and see what it would look like to use another code hosting platform. This will likely involve a quick comparison of other platforms and practically thinking through/trying moving the website hosting and code deploying.

Writing Without Scribes, Humane Dynamic Medium
Hosted by Isard Botha
I have recently come across Bret Victor and Alan Kay's ideas of a Humane Dynamic Medium and want to share them. The focus is on the democratisation of computation, and how computation might look if we wanted our work to be more than tiny rectangles that we poke all day.

Vibe Coding: Discipline or Illusion?
Hosted by Alexander Alemayhu
Vibe coding feels good — you’re in flow, things are happening, maybe you’re shipping. But are you building something that lasts, or just moving fast in the wrong direction? Let’s explore the tension between engineering discipline and creative flow. We’ll share stories, failures, and tools that bridge the gap between vibes and verifiability.
We might pair-code. We might argue. Bring your intuition and your tests.

Who Owns the Code?
Hosted by Alexander Alemayhu
In an age of AI copilots, open-source dependencies, corporate NDAs, and freelance platforms, authorship is more tangled than ever. When you write code, who truly owns it? The individual, the employer, the contributor network, or even the AI?
This session dives into legal, ethical, and emotional dimensions of code ownership. We’ll explore real-world edge cases, licenses like GPL vs MIT, and what it means to contribute in public versus private. Expect passionate discussion and conflicting views — and maybe leave with more questions than answers.
