Real conversations
The working reality, not the polished pitch. Share what you tried, the awkward parts, and the decisions still keeping you up.
Real stacks. Real constraints. Real conversations. We get into how things are actually built—and why. Bring your questions. Stay for supper.
Depth is the conversation. Not a credential at the door.

};Serious about the craft. Relaxed with the people. A room for developers, dev-adjacents, and technically curious people, whatever your title or experience.
The working reality, not the polished pitch. Share what you tried, the awkward parts, and the decisions still keeping you up.
Architecture, bottlenecks, costs, and trade-offs. We get beyond what a product does and into how—and why—it works.
Probing questions, engaged discussion, and cheeky energy. Challenge the decision. Be kind to the person who made it.
Different roles. Shared curiosity about how things are built. You don’t need a particular title to join the conversation.
Architecture, bottlenecks, production complexity, and engineering trade-offs.
Product and stack decisions under real constraints, including AI-assisted building.
Product managers, designers, and others whose work intersects with engineering.
Anyone willing to get into the details, whatever their title or experience.
Explore Roast My TechStack, Prod is DOWN!!!, and product workshops like Starting Right. Each format gets into a different part of building.
