NDC Conferences: Keynote: Machines, Learning, and Machine Learning - Dylan Beattie - NDC Porto 2025

Dylan Beattie argues that instead of fretting over which language or framework to learn next, you should focus on how to learn and actually dive in. He highlights how tools like Copilot, ChatGPT, cloud IDEs and IoT microcontrollers have never made it easier to explore new technologies—and how keeping your motivation high is half the battle.

He then tackles the gap between “it works on my machine” and building a product that customers will pay for, explores why open source projects often outshine their big-budget corporate counterparts, and questions the endless parade of JavaScript frameworks. And yes, he explains why you’re still hunched over your keyboard at 3am, coffee in hand, even though you know tomorrow’s alarm is brutal.
