after two days of demos there's this funny pattern emerging where everything is "look what you can do in an afternoon!" and it's some fluid sim or ESP32 sketch or whatever and mostly I'm left just so hungry for "okay... but what can you build in a month if you actually tried"

as ever, perhaps moreso now, you can be in the top 1% of makers just with a shred of persistence most people can't pursue one project for a month, nonetheless years - you can win by just being the only one who does
