I love this idea. I remember giving a live demonstration of a configuration management tool (SaltStack circa 2012) and some unknown networking conflict between my Virtual Machines and the local wifi subnet caused my commands to timeout. I was too junior to resolve it live and was left with boring slides explaining what ought to be happening.

Luckily it was a small group of devs and not a large venue. Still embarrassing...

That's literally 100% of all live demos. Something always happens.
