This morning we took a huge chance and did a live demo, in front of a very important audience, of something we had never before demo’d in public. And it worked.
Going into it, I was feeling a lot of anxiety. When you do something for the first time, there are a lot of things that can go wrong. And the things that actually go wrong are just about never any of the things you thought might go wrong.
But thanks to the work of a number of very hard working people, the demo actually worked. And the highly technically literate audience was clearly surprised and delighted that it worked.
That kind of reaction is often an indication that you are on to something important. I think we might be on to something important. 🙂
