Lightning Talks
summary
Twelve five‑minute lightning talks run in a single hour, each packed with concrete tools and moves: a salsa‑inspired code style and a tiny app called Dance Cop that parses practice notes and promises AI coaching later; concrete guidance for resilient job queues—encode latency SLOs, use latency‑based autoscaling, dedicate high‑memory queues and scale them to zero; an X42 Rails gem for agentic on‑chain payments via stablecoins; an insta snapshot gem for test snapshots; LiveComponent (12KB) for server‑side interactive rendering; and a Rails+LLM family activity planner that stores history in the DB.
