Vibebugger: The Conference That Never Leaves Home
Nothing says "this conference isn't leaving your laptop" like a localhost URL. VibeCon: where the only attendees are you, your terminal, and that one bug you've been ignoring for months.

Pro tip: you can still expense the coffee.

The Most Exclusive Conference You'll Never Attend
When you're so exclusive even you can't attend your own conference! The "world's largest vibe coding conference" registration link (127.0.0.1:8080) is literally just localhost—meaning this conference only exists on the creator's own machine. It's like inviting everyone to a party at your house but giving them the address to their own homes instead. Pure developer trolling at its finest. Anyone who clicks that link is just going to see their own local development server (if they have one running on port 8080) or get a connection error. Networking fail or genius marketing strategy? You decide!

It's the digital equivalent of saying "your shoe's untied" and somehow still getting someone to look down despite them wearing sandals.
