Can We Make $1 Million in the Next Hour? (Live-Coding a Full-Stack App)

Time: 2:00 PM CT

Room: Room 1

Speaker: Chris Perrin

Description

Can we make a $1 million? Probably not, but we can deploy a whole app! In this live-coding session, we will attempt the “impossible”: going from a blank editor to a deployed, database-backed application with a functional UI before the session timer runs out.

This isn’t a get-rich-quick scheme; This is a crash course on how to vibe code your way to success: we will use Claude and Gemini, NotebookLM to generate ideas, OpenArt for assets, and our favorite agents to generate our documentation on the fly.

While all can benefit from this session, it’s designed for those who are skeptical or intimidated by agentic workflows, this session will cover:

The Product Manager Mindset: How to prompt for architecture, not just syntax. We will discuss the “Accept All” trap and how to spot hallucinations before they break production.

The Live Stack: A look at the specific toolchain for 2026 rapid deployment that makes this speed possible.

The Reality Check: We won’t just show the happy path. We will do live debugging and discuss the security implications of shipping AI-generated code.

We’ll crowdsource the app idea from a curated list at the start of the hour. Will we walk away millionaires? We can hope. Will you walk away knowing exactly how to build your next big idea? Definitely.
