RIP Mikeal, those early NodeConf adventures were life-changing to me, ripped me out of my entrenched MSFT tech life, and got me on a Mac. It's thanks to these events I was able make meaningful contributions to OSS, ultimately ended up giving dozens of talks, publishing books, and have fulfilling career. Without him my life looks very different.

The first computers cost millions of dollars and filled entire rooms to accomplish what we would now consider simple computational tasks. That same computing power now fits into the width of a finger nail. I don’t get how technologists balk at the cost of experimental tech or assume current tech will run at the same efficiency for decades to come and melt the planet into a puddle. AGI won’t happen until you can fit enough compute that’d take several data center’s worth of compute into a brain sized vessel. So the thing can move around process the world in real time. This is all going to take some time to say the least. Progress is progress.
