📌 About the Event
“How I Fixed It” is a highly interactive, community-driven technical meetup hosted by GDG Cloud Chandigarh.
Moving away from traditional, rigid slide presentations and corporate product pitches, this evening session shines a spotlight on the raw, unpolished side of software engineering. The event functions as a community showcase where local developers, cloud architects, and students take the mic to share their most complex bugs, production-breaking blunders, and the creative, brilliant engineering fixes that saved the day. It is designed to celebrate the “aha!” moments of debugging while fostering collaboration and peer-to-peer learning through shared mistakes.
