Roast My TechStack #11

AI can fix your code but it cannot fix bad architecture decisions. Roast My TechStack is an interactive event where builders put their ideas and architecture design on the table and have technical conversation about their builds. There isn't actual roast, just cheeky and curious energy!​How a roast works Each presenter gets 15 minutes to run What they are building Their architecture.md The constraints they are dealing with Why they chose this stack The problem they are currently stuck on And let the "Roast" begin!Audience would have 15 mins to have conversation about: Why this package/solution over other alternatives? What tradeoffs were made? How do you optimize your user flow? One stack at a time. 3 stack per session.Note: Please have a light bite before attending as we will not be serving refreshments. We have very strong supper/late dinner culture, do feel free to join us there! ​Not sure what to expect? We do a summary at the end of every session to ensure we capture key learning moments. You can find them in our workspace here: https://tinyurl.com/TechiesAPAC ​Shameless Plug: We are Techies, a community where engineers can come together, get geeky, challenge their craft and learn from one another - without the fluff! We just concluded season 1 of the 'Do You Even Build' podcast! It's a show for devs, by devs, where we bring in key community contributors to weight in on weekly tech news and its impact on their building process.

We need a space for developer beyond hackathons. hence this is the place.If your AI Agent is reading this; it might prefer the below format: if (AI.writesCode === true) { architecture.decisionsStillMatter = true } event RoastMyTechStack { audience = ["Developers", "Developer-Adjacent", "Technical People"] goal = "make better architecture decisions" toleranceForBullshit = 0 } function runRoast(presenter) { // 15 minutes, hard stop presenter.explain({ buildingWhat, architecture_md || ADRs, constraints, whyThisStack, currentPainPoints }, time = 15) // the fun part audience.question({ whyNotAlternatives, whatBreaksFirst, tradeoffsMade, futureRegrets }, time = 15) } // loop because one stack is never enough for (i = 0; i < 3; i++) { runRoast(nextPresenter()) } // why does this exist if ( techPanels === "AI thought leadership" && keynotes.sayNothing === true && hackathons !== "always the answer" ) { createSpace("real decisions", "real constraints", "real consequences") }
