​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!

This session is supported by SCAPE
and Co-Hosted by GrowthLab

​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.

​Why do this?

​We had enough of AI thought leader panels and keynote. 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") }
