GSD Camp - Vibe Coding: Where Your Data Lives
Enlightened empowerment in the age of AI. AI erased 95% of what a coding bootcamp used to teach. This free Monday series is the other 5% — the part that isn't about writing code, it's about staying in control of code you didn't write. Each week, ATXCTO John Davison takes one module from the GSDCamp.ai curriculum and compresses it into a tight, live masterclass: the mental model, seen through the same lens professionals use, so you can direct AI instead of being dragged by it. Go from "this stack is kind of scary and unstable" to "I'd take a real financial risk on this."
This week — your data outlives your code. Real apps keep their state somewhere, and that somewhere is SQL. It's one mental model with three homes: SQLite (a file on your laptop), Postgres (a real server), and Supabase (Postgres you don't have to run). We'll shape a database, move real records through it, and trace one piece of data end to end — request → server → database → back. The goal: wire data into a system with enough structure that it stays operable, instead of a sprawl no one, human or AI, can steer.
You walk out able to: reason about where your data lives — and actually watch it flow.
This is session 4 of 6 in the GSD Camp Monday series — a rotating tour through the six mental models and the eight skills every vibe coder needs to build software that doesn't collapse on Thursday. Come to one or come to all.

Format: semi-lecture. John runs a live coding workroom (local console + Claude Code) and works through the ideas in real time — you learn, talk, chat, and ask questions.
Bring: nothing technical. Just a good, quiet internet connection.
Perfect for: indie founders, product people getting into the build, and growth/ops folks building more complex agents.
