04 — Before the trip

From ticket to badge.

How to go from a GitNation ticket to a printed badge on day one.

  1. 01

    Buy the conference ticket

    Tickets are sold per event on reactsummit.com and jsnation.com. The invoice and ticket PDF arrive by email from the GitNation team.

  2. 02

    Create a GitNation profile

    Sign up on gitnation.com with the same email used for the purchase. The profile becomes the public identity used across every GitNation event.

  3. 03

    Link the ticket and generate the badge

    Associate the ticket with the profile. Each event generates a public attendee badge — a shareable URL that doubles as the on-site QR pass.

  4. 04

    Read the attendee guide

    GitNation publishes a single attendee guide covering venue, schedule, meetups, after-parties, workshops, and badge pickup hours.

05 — Takeaways

What I brought back.

The Interface Shift

Content consumption is moving from traditional websites to agentic, chat-based interfaces. Sessions on Model Context Protocol (MCP) outlined a near-headless web where autonomous assistants orchestrate tasks directly, reducing browsers to edge-case fallbacks.

Vibe Engineering Over Syntax

The creator workflow is evolving. The focus has shifted from writing code to orchestrating environments, reasoning about architecture, and managing agent execution loops.

Spec-Driven Development

The standard prompt-and-check loop wastes time and tokens. High-quality LLM generation depends on front-loading context—using detailed specs, clear rules, and structured instructions rather than vague, iterative prompts.

Agent-Native Tooling

IDEs are adapting to the agentic workflow. Companies like Zed are building editors that natively balance AI-driven development speed with strict performance and code quality standards.
