Design

Front (Obverse)

Top rim: THE VIBE CODERS' GUILD
Bottom rim: IT RUNS, SHIP IT
Center: A developer in sunglasses and headphones leans back with their feet on the desk, casually waving a hand at a laptop. A waterfall of code pours off the screen and pools on the floor. Behind them, unnoticed, a small fire smolders in a server rack, and a lava lamp glows on the desk.

Back (Reverse)

A large, well-worn button labeled "ACCEPT ALL", with the inscription "I DIDN'T READ IT EITHER".

Finish & Style

Antique bronze challenge coin, ~1.75" diameter, high-relief center scene, raised rim lettering, beaded outer edge. Matches the existing ITChallengeCoins series.

How to Earn It
