Poolboy

Story

Poolboy joins the Center Area hardware demos, the place where the conference becomes tactile. Instead of watching slides about tools, visitors can ask questions, press buttons, compare devices and see what actually happens when hardware meets real users.

That kind of demo table matters because it lowers the intimidation barrier. Poolboy helps turn hardware from "something experts use" into a conversation about what you can run, why you would run it and which trade-offs still remain.
