🎸 Talk highlight: Dylan Beattie – How To Be a Rockstar Developer

What started as a joke in a bar became a full-on programming language based on 80s power ballads. Now it’s back β€” meet Rockstar 2.0, a wild mashup of .NET, JS, WASM, and Bon Jovi lyrics.

πŸ’‘ Esoteric languages, real tech, and a lot of laughs.
