The [All Gas Hackathon](https://www.convex.dev/hackathons/all-gas) winners are in. Sponsored by OpenAI, Firecrawl, and AgentMail. 1st: [OurSpaces](https://vibeapps.dev/s/ourspaces). One page your whole group can mess with. Everyone works on it at the same time, and it has its own email address. 2nd: [PlusOne](https://vibeapps.dev/s/plusone). An AI wedding copilot that brings vendors, inboxes, websites, and quotes together. 3rd: [Parallel](https://vibeapps.dev/s/parallel) Send four people to a conference without them all learning the same thing. It plans coverage, repairs the plan when talks change, and ships one team brief. The rule was everyday apps, not developer tools. Thanks to every builder, the judges, and OpenAI, Firecrawl, and AgentMail for sponsoring. You can see all submissions at [here](https://vibeapps.dev/tag/allgashackathon). Thanks everyone, and congrats to the winners!

Jamie's Abstract talk is up His take: we were never paid to write code. Software engineering isn't dead. It's finally maturing. If you've wondered what the job looks like when code costs almost nothing, start here. https://youtu.be/VeT54QhrmdM?t=51 Watch it, like it, leave a comment, hit subscribe. You know the drill lol
