Tools change quickly, and the landscape keeps shifting.
But principles tend to move more slowly.

Think in systems. Build to last.

[devdays | Unstacked Engineering @devdaysconf]

The devdays manifesto is our attempt to articulate what we think matters in software engineering today.

If that sounds like your kind of conversation, devdays is probably your kind of conference.

“AI doesn’t work for me.”

Many engineers still feel that way after trying AI coding tools.

@jfversluis is here to change that.

Go from “AI doesn’t work for me” to shipping software with AI as your co-pilot.

devdays workshops👇

@vladikk
Modular design in the age of AI-assisted engineering.

@jfversluis
From AI skepticism to shipping software with AI.

@samsonowski
Software design as code, integrated into development workflows.

[devdays | Unstacked Engineering @devdaysconf]

One-hour talks can surface patterns and shift the way you think about systems. But developing a new skill usually requires time and practice. 

That’s why devdays begins with workshops.

On the devdays stage: @vladikk

Vlad is focused on helping organisations design complex systems.
He returns to our stage with a new perspective on how systems grow and the importance of modularity.

[devdays | Unstacked Engineering @devdaysconf]

On the devdays stage: @jfversluis

He spent years building across the .NET ecosystem.
Now his day-to-day work is shaped by how AI fits into real engineering workflows.

@vladikk @jfversluis @explorenet @chr_horsdal @samsonowski @erwin_staal The people joining devdays this year are those who’ve worked through that in practice.

Pin Magazine recently published an article about the thinking behind devdays and our evolution.

devdays is built as a space where learning reflects real systems.

Partners who join devdays support that kind of environment.

Partnership opportunities are still open -> https://t.co/n67LbbK1Nw

[devdays | Unstacked Engineering @devdaysconf]

Clean agendas can be misleading.

They organise topics well, but that’s not how systems behave.

Backend in one room. Cloud in another. AI somewhere else.
Real systems don’t work like that.
Decisions don’t stay in one place.

#UnstackedEngineering

[devdays | Unstacked Engineering @devdaysconf]

What tends to stay with people are the moments where something didn’t behave as expected. Where a design held in theory, but changed under real constraints. Where a decision revealed its consequences over time.

That’s what we look for when shaping the devdays programme.

[devdays | Unstacked Engineering @devdaysconf]

Over the past week, we’ve been reading through the submissions.

Some stories stay with you more than others.

Speaker announcements will start soon.

#devdays #UnstackedEngineering #CallForPapers

[devdays | Unstacked Engineering @devdaysconf]

Most engineering challenges cross more than one boundary.

Yet learning often happens inside clearly defined tracks.

We bring perspectives into the same space so engineers can better understand how their decisions travel beyond their own role.

[devdays | Unstacked Engineering @devdaysconf]

We just want to say thank you. 💜

So many of you took the time to submit proposals to share your insights on the devdays stage. We appreciate everyone who submitted.

The #CFP is now closed, and we’re carefully reviewing everything.

#devdays #UnstackedEngineering

[devdays | Unstacked Engineering @devdaysconf]

At devdays, speakers share systems they have built, operated, and evolved. The parts that scaled well, and the ones that required rethinking. The reasoning behind decisions that felt correct at first, but revealed something different over time.

That depth is what we protect.

[devdays | Unstacked Engineering @devdaysconf]

There is a difference between explaining an idea and walking through what happened when it met reality.

Listening to lived experience changes how you recognise patterns in your own work.

Think in systems. Build to last.
