Ask HN: What would you include in an academic workshop on vibe coding?
I'm the resident AI librarian at a research university, and we've received a request to host a vibe coding workshop next month. I have several ideas of what to demo, but I wanted to ask the HN community what they might recommend to include. The format will be 3 hours including initial setup support, experimentation time, and a brief showcase at the end.

Frequency & alternatives
Recorded author: cximenez. Source votes: 1 votes (Nov 6, 2026 UTC; cumulative since publication); previous same-scope observation: 1 (Nov 6, 2026 UTC). These observations do not establish demand growth. Recent records to compare: “[问与答] 兄弟们每个月在 Ai 上花多少钱？” (V2EX, Nov 6, 2026); “Claude Code sends your email address to websites” (Hacker News, Nov 5, 2026). Shared themes are navigation hints; they have not been verified as the same need or independent corroboration.
Demand hypothesis
Treat the reported task or obstacle as an interview lead. A feature request, complaint or search for alternatives does not by itself identify a budget owner or willingness to pay.
Commercial evidence gaps
Missing evidence: distinct affected users, repeated occasions, current workaround, measured time or money cost, purchasing authority and a response to a concrete offer.
Validation decision
Group original reports by the same task and deduplicate authors and reposts. Ask how the task is handled today and what it costs; test a defined offer before claiming paid demand.
