[Pre-DevFest] Behind the Code
Most tech talks are sanitized highlight reels where the architecture diagram maaaagically worked on the first try. We're stripping away the polish to look at the messy reality of actually building from scratch - the dead ends, the messy failures, and the hard trade-offs.
We can promise no surface-level "hello world" tutorials. Just unfiltered sessions on craft, system design, and what happens under the hood. If you care about how software is actually engineered, pull up a chair (it's okay if you exclusively use prompts these days)
What to Expect
Real Talk: Deep-dives on tech, system design, security, and more without the PR polish.
Honest Stories: Breakdowns of what broke during development and the ugly fixes that actually worked.
No Fluff: Zero high-level buzzwords - just real builders talking about what they're good at.
