NashJS: What Grinds Your Gears ?: Tech Frustrations & Fixes

The Topic:
You know what really grinds my gears? Code reviews with no comments. CSS that works in dev but dies in prod. Merge conflicts on a Friday. Tabs vs. spaces. The list goes on…

Join us for a hilariously therapeutic night of developer grievances, where no tech annoyance is too small to complain about. Bring a piece of code, a frustrating bug, a cursed stack trace, or just a story that made you question your life choices—and we’ll share, commiserate, and laugh about it together.

But don’t worry, this isn’t just a roast of the industry. We’ll also chat about how to handle these moments with grace (or at least without flipping a desk), and swap strategies for surviving—and thriving—in the chaos of modern tech.

Come for the venting, stay for the solidarity. Bonus points if your example makes someone groan audibly.

About the speaker: This is a group-driven event, and the magic comes from everyone participating. We encourage you to bring not just what grinds your gears, but also any solutions, hacks, or hard-earned wisdom that helped you through it. Maybe you found a better way to manage code reviews, improved a frustrating process, or just learned how to communicate better with your team—bring it! Whether it’s a line of code, a story from the trenches, or a lightbulb moment, your experience might be exactly what someone else needs to hear. Let’s turn tech troubles into teaching moments—together.

See you there !
