Lol - to find your one comment in this thread wayyy down at the bottom was delightful. That demo you reference from techcrunch disrupt ( start of this video - https://youtu.be/Nrb3LN7X1Pg) - that is a great demo. I'm curious - is that an idea/moment in your life you look back on and has that staying power, something that randomly pops in your mind that fills you with pride, or not really?

We thought of that demo with like a week or two to go before the event when we realized we needed something more visceral than a blinking cursor :)

So, it stayed with the world because it went semi viral in some tiny circles. But it didn’t stay with me because I personally learned little from it.

The thing that stays with me is all the things I learned spending years trying to implement an API you can describe in ~30 seconds really well. It’s a rare opportunity to be able to go so deep on a problem in a career.
