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.
