I went and did it. Made a longer-form video explaining our open-source battery project and diving into the details of the kit and chemistries we're working with!

It would really help our project out a lot if you could share this with interested folks.

And of course, PeerTube: https://spectra.video/w/4wTobcS16Ww5UAZVMWrC9E

Please let me know what you think, comments, criticisms, suggestions---first time I've made a video like this and I have a lot to learn.

We're building an open-source battery

Structured concurrency: https://vorpus.org/blog/notes-on-structured-concurrency-or-go-statement-considered-harmful/ and https://sustrik.github.io/250bpm/blog:71/ . I wonder why isn't this more widespread? What are the cons/limits? concurrent-ruby provides cancellation objects and there *is* a nursery gem.

Just debugged a production issue involving colliding UUIDs :)

spoiler: accidental uuidv1 in a containerised deployment so processes on the same machine can't coordinate the sequence number field 🗿
