​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. Check it out here: https://open.spotify.com/show/3JhNpERWFXWIjGcmXDvu3f

​​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") }
