Sharathon #2.

Two and a half hours of people showing each other what they built, why they built it, and how. Coffee shop, laptops open, everybody talking. Thirteen builders demoed.

This one is over. The next Sharathon is being scheduled now, and it runs the same way: you do not need to show anything, and showing is optional.

The shape

Show and tell, not heads down.

This is closer to a coworking session that will not shut up than a quiet build sprint. People bring what they are working on and walk each other through it. What they built, why, and how it actually works.

Shoulder to shoulder, not row by row. Shipping something is allowed. It is not the point.

How the night ran
  • 4:30Doors. Chill, mingle, grub.
  • 5:30Show and tell. Closed guest slate, then Lucas closes.
  • ~7:45Quickfire and open floor. Squeezed: the demos ran long.
  • 8:00Closing circle and group photo.
  • 8:30Wrap. Hard stop.
Four ways to show

All four ways to show were open on August 23, and they will be open at the next one.

01

Take the mic

Thirteen builders took the mic on August 23. The slate for the next one opens when the date is set.

02

Show your table

Turn your laptop around for the four people near you. No stage involved.

03

Bring a schematic

A diagram, a prompt, a workflow on paper. It does not have to run.

04

Just watch

Fly on the wall is a real option. Plenty of people did exactly that last time.

Where

Brew Coffee Spot

6101 Lake Murray Blvd
La Mesa, CA 91942

They close early on Sundays, so we get the whole place. Free lot out front, easy in and out.

Bring
  • Laptop and charger.
  • Whatever AI tools you actually use.
  • Something you are working on, or nothing at all.
Cost

Free. The counter is open if you want coffee or food.

Nothing is live-streamed. Blue Barn Creative shoots short promotional clips. A full presentation goes up only with that presenter's permission. Opt out at the door and we honor it.

Who shows up

People brand new to AI. Vet devs. Folks who only vibe code. Founders, designers, hardware people, people looking for collaborators, people looking for work. Same room. The spread is the point.

Sharathon #1 in Ocean Beach: 64 people signed up, 15 showed and shared how they were building. Everything they handed around is still up at sandiegoaistudio.com/share.

That was Sharathon #2.
