Low-code. No-code. VibeCoding. In 2025, these terms are trending, promising faster builds, leaner teams, and overnight MVPs. But is the hype holding up? Or are early adopters quietly rewriting entire codebases behind the scenes?
In this UglyTalk, we crack open the good, the bad, and the downright ugly behind building with low-code and no-code platforms. From shortcuts that became nightmares to smart frameworks that scaled smoothly, this event demystifies what really works and what doesn’t. Straight from the folks in the trenches.
 

🎯 Why You Should Attend
Whether you’re launching your first product or scaling your second startup, you’ve likely been pitched a “faster” way to build. This is your chance to:
Avoid the Pain:
 Hear the cautionary tales before they become your own.
Steal What Works:
 Learn from proven wins and hard-earned lessons.
Get Tactical:
 Walk away with practical strategies and real tools you can use tomorrow.
Meet Your People:
 Founders, CTOs, and ecosystem enablers. All in one room.
 

🙋 Who You’ll Meet
Non-technical founders
 exploring new ways to ship without writing code
Early-stage startup teams
 iterating their first or second product
CTOs and product leaders
 figuring out what to bet on for scale
Investors and ecosystem enablers
 staying ahead of the next wave of builder tech
Whether you’re building, backing, or bridging tech products. This room is for you.
 

🎤Who’s on the Panel
Christina Stejskalova
 - Builder at Ideaslab
Christina Stejskalova is a data leader with 13+ years of experience and a reputation for turning chaos into clarity. That's the boring bit! From moving to the U.S. being rejected from 200 jobs to landing a job in FANNG and later leading entire functions, I’ve built and rebuilt with grit as my north star. I founded a startup to fight for equality of opportunity, and after its close, I rose fast, becoming a data director younger than most. I’ve transformed two data orgs end to end. Colleagues call me “Data Christina”, but really, I’m just a vibe coder, and grit is my programming language.

UGLY TALK: CAN YOU REALLY BUILD SOFTWARE BASED ON “VIBES”

To be shared on approval

We are delighted to announce that our upcoming meetup is scheduled for 
Tue,
 
July 8th
. We invite you to join us at the Capital One Flat Iron office to discuss the latest advancements in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. There will also be an opportunity to network and enjoy some pizza.

Drawing from practical lessons learned while building and maintaining customer-facing AI applications across Bloomberg Law, Bloomberg Tax, and Bloomberg Government, this talk explores the unique position of data-rich enterprises in today’s rapidly evolving AI landscape. These organizations possess deep reserves of proprietary data that foundational models have not seen during training. This talk will examine the strategic and technical considerations of leveraging such exclusive datasets, and how these enterprises can meaningfully participate in the AI transformation without developing their own models.
