So now my Pixie server's running in the background.

I was like, so what can you do with it?

And I remember looking in the front row, and Rob Pike and team were just intimately looking at this thing, like, wow, he just started a Pixie server from his laptop.

from GoPresent, the slide deck tool.

And so this thing is running, and I'm like, all right, let's bring up VMware.

I got to make sure we switch the adapter to the one that supports IPXE.

You got to do some firmware thing.

And then I remember I booted the VM.

You can see the logs in the GoPresent of like HTTP handing off the image, giving an IP, and the virtual machine is booting up.

And you can just see the amazement on the audience face like,

Did you just do that?

And then I put it another thing in the thing.

And I'm going through why I think that this is a game changer for the craft that we have.

We finally have a tool where we can write high performing things with the simplicity of imperative programming.

And we can go beyond just scripts.

We can actually build systems.

The audience was dialed in and it got loud.

Like out there, you know, things were working.

People were clapping.

I look in the back and there's a whole bunch of people now standing.
