// about

A Latvian community for vibe coding.

We're a small but growing crew of developers, designers, indie hackers and curious tinkerers in Riga who build software with AI as a pair programmer. Vibe coding — a term coined by Andrej Karpathy in 2025 — is when you mostly direct a model like Claude Code, Cursor or ChatGPT in plain language, ship the diff and go with the vibes. We share what works, what breaks, and what we shipped last weekend.

Latvia's tech scene has always punched above its weight. This is the corner of it that writes prompts like pseudocode, treats AI as a co-author rather than a threat, and prefers a working demo to a twenty-slide deck.

// frequently asked

Questions, briefly.

What is vibe coding?
Vibe coding is a way of building software where you mostly direct an AI assistant — Cursor, Claude Code, ChatGPT, v0, Lovable, Bolt — in plain language and go with the vibes. The term was coined by Andrej Karpathy in February 2025.
Is this only for people in Latvia?
Most of us are in Riga, but the community is remote-friendly across the Baltics and beyond. Conversations are in English; Latvian is welcome when it flows that way.
Do I need to be a developer to join?
No. Indie hackers, designers, founders, students, hobbyists and AI-curious tinkerers are all welcome. We don't gatekeep.
What tools does everyone use?
The usual AI-coding stack — Cursor, Claude Code, ChatGPT, v0, Lovable, Bolt, Windsurf. We share prompts, system prompts and workflows that actually ship.
What kind of projects do members ship?
Side projects, micro-SaaS, internal tools, weekend experiments, hackathon demos. Demos over decks. If you've ever built something at 3 a.m. for fun, you're already one of us.
Are there meetups in Riga?
Yes — we organise casual coding nights and demo sessions in Riga every so often. Join the Discord to hear about the next one before it sells out.
How do I join?
Hit the WhatsApp invite on the page. If Discord is more your speed, there's a community there too. No application, no waitlist.
Kas ir vibe coding?
Vibe coding ir veids, kā veidot programmatūru, galvenokārt sarunājoties ar mākslīgā intelekta palīgu — Cursor, Claude Code, ChatGPT — dabīgā valodā. Terminu 2025. gadā ieviesa Andrejs Karpathy.
