you should just do them and you shouldn't let others you look up to make you feel like you're not good enough to do it and things like that. And so I already didn't like the reaction and the way I was being treated by others just because I was up there at certain conferences giving talks. And so I thought, I'm just going to show people that I'm just literally like everyone else. I sit and

And so I thought, I'm just going to show people that I'm just literally like everyone else. I sit and

my code editor and I stumble and I do typos. And also again, it's, you know, the JavaScript hardware stuff seems intimidating, but at the end of the day, it's writing in the same language that, you know, you write in for your job. If you're a front end developer or full stack, you know, sort of, Node.js web developer.

So yeah, it was really just demystifying stuff because I benefited so much from Nolan's stream that one time. I was like, geez, this is fascinating. And I just really wanted to help dispel a lot of that. And then ironically, I ended up even more on a pedestal for my stream, which you can see now why it was so frustrating for me where I was like, cool, that just made everything worse.

And I can't control how people are going to treat me right. And that was a lesson that I learned. You can't control the narrative in that way. You're just not going to be able to.

No. I mean, I get nervous when I'm speaking. I just don't think I told you this story. I'm not being, I'm not just like, no, I don't care.

Maybe. I mean, so I was really nervous when I gave that keynote at OzCon, the same OzCon I met you to, because they were, they said you have eight minutes. And then I came up with something super ambitious as usual, because to me, that was a pretty big opportunity.

to give one of the opening keynotes at OzCon and I wanted to and you know somebody had recommended me so I also was like oh my god their reputation is at stake you know and so I took it extra seriously I take all my talks seriously but I took that one extra seriously and you can see in the video like my hands are just like this because you know they had to zoom in it was like was it live coding or was it scripted I remember there was a demo was it live coding

It was live coding and it was semi-scripted. So I had like almost like a dice roll thing where I rolled the dice and it chose like a sensor and then like some kind of output, like a motor or a screen or something. And then I had to come up with an idea in between. And to be honest, it wasn't super planned.

I just knew that I'd be able to remember how to interface with every single device that I'd brought along with me. Right. And so it really was actually unplanned. And the the two things that I ended up rolling were actually random. I remember re-rolling just because the first one I was like, I just, I'm not feeling that one, but you know, the second one I ended up choosing.

So it was semi-scripted in that there was some constraints there, right. But I really had to do it on the spot. But the point was, I was trying to prove that again in eight minutes, um, if you know a little bit of JavaScript, it's really not that hard to take some, a sense of value and then like, you know, do something fun with it on the other side of it.
