A set of five-minute demos shows concrete results: a Twitterbot that generates city accolades using NLTK and WordNet and runs on Heroku with a scheduler; a Raspberry Pi button that plays Santana and tweets; hacked Amazon Dash buttons feeding a MongoDB (mLab) backend and Flask web app to track dog potty breaks; a tiny “it’s working” Anakin video that confirms fixes; Jupyter extensions (Docker images, dashboard, kernel gateway, content search, notebook-as-module, nbviewer slides); and conda‑forge reporting 1,159 packages.
