Lightning Talks - Sunday
summary
A rapid fire set of practical outcomes and gotchas: a custom CI (Beekeeper + Waggle) runs Docker on AWS ECS and cuts project CI to about $30/month vs $700–$800 on commercial services; a Matplotlib attempt to swap nose for pytest becomes 175 commits, 3.5k tests passing but ~1.5k dynamically generated tests missing and shows don’t do the whole change in one giant PR; hardware demos include a malicious USB “rubber ducky” and ESP32 + MicroPython REPL over Wi‑Fi driving a hexapod; concurrency advice emphasizes store/load barriers and atomic operations over naive shared-memory assumptions; testing guidance promotes state verification (Detroit TDD) over over-mocking.
