Avante

​​Five weeks ago, we selected 50 hardware builders who couldn't let their blueprints die on paper. People already deep in it. Past the point where turning back makes sense. Ideas ranged from $1000 mini humanoids to drones that can traverse land to glasses for performance athletes. ​Now, after 38 days of late nights in our labs, complete pivots, and relentless building with 3D printers, CNCs, and soldering stations, they're ready to transform our campus into a wonderland of working hardware, live demos, and things you can actually touch and try. ​​Join us November 7 5pm for the Blueprint finale — a festival of inventions where you'll test-drive robots, interact with next-gen hardware, hold devices that were just sketches not too long ago, and see what happens when people bring their blueprints to life. ​Live music, DJs, food trucks and local artisans will also be an extension of the experience provided by Fort Mason Night Market.

Terminal Chat

Go it's a "simple" nice language to work with, specially with web related things because of his great language features like go routines that make simple to manage threads, and his good standard library. So I built a small **terminal-based chat system**. It was an experiment to understand **how to manage WebSocket connections, rooms, and file transfers** — all without external frameworks.
