Lightning Talks Pt 2
summary
A rapid set of demos and lessons: an open‑source habit runs 152 days and produces a tiny web framework Kevlar that reaches tens of thousands of users, a real‑time poll used by hundreds of thousands and a French university, and a stalled conduct.io after 18 months without shipping. Other projects: a compact e‑commerce engine powering a shop, a Ruby VM prototype that took four weeks to print “hello”, a DNS primer noting 13 root servers, and a bitcoind intro showing millibit microtransactions (~20p).
