Go deep into the how.
Always ask why.

We run events that go deep into the technical details. Because understanding what someone built is only half the story. The constraints, trade-offs, and decisions behind it are where we learn.

Real stacks. Honest questions. No sales pitch.

Who’s in the room?

Depth is the conversation, not a credential at the door. Bring curiosity, whatever your title or experience.

Developers & technical leads

Getting into architecture, bottlenecks, and the reality of running systems.

Solo builders & founders

Making product and stack decisions with real constraints.

Product people & designers

Connecting what people need with how the thing actually works.

The technically curious

Here to ask better questions and learn from people building.

Meet the community

Different formats.
Same technical curiosity.

Put a real stack on the table, unpack a production failure, or work through what to build next.

Flagship

Your demo works. What breaks first? Bring the stack, the constraints, and the decision you’re stuck on. Curious questions. Technical debate. No personal takedowns.

Community demos, open technical Q&A, and the decisions still keeping builders up. Challenge the architecture, not the person.

Prod is DOWN!!!

Everything was fine. Then production wasn’t. We unpack what broke, how the team recovered, and the guardrails they wish they’d had.

The linked session was part of Lorong AI’s After Dark programme.

The agenda ends. The conversation doesn’t. Join us for supper, compare notes, and meet people to keep building with.
