VCN #45: Bench

Heads up: this is a hands-on build night and bringing a laptop is mandatory. You don't know if your coding agent is good. You have a vibe. Tonight we replace the vibe with a number. Everyone ships an agent and says it "feels solid." Nobody can tell you its pass rate on a task it has never seen. VCN #45: Bench is the night you build a real eval and start measuring. Format: By 10pm you have a repeatable eval that scores any coding agent on your own tasks. We reuse this exact bench next Saturday at the Bake-Off (#46) to score agents head to head. Builders only. Bring a repo with at least one test you trust. Doors 7pm. Walkthrough 7:30. Frontier Tower Floor 10. Hosted by Vibe Coding Nights: Rayyan Zahid (Immersive Commons), Michalis Vasileiadis (Hacker Bob), Eric Mockler (AI Geneticist), Devinder Sodhi (Learning Layer Labs). Facilitator: Rayyan Zahid. Guest speaker TBD (open call). Your ticket includes z.ai + Claude Code for the session and Nebius Token Factory credits to run the labs. RSVP if you ship a coding agent and can't currently put a number on how good it is. Frontier Tower members: your ticket is on us. DM Ray directly for a members only free RSVP.
