Hey, have you checked out those smart streetlamps that switch colors based on traffic flow? I'm thinking we could treat the whole block like a puzzle—each lamp a variable, and the city lights up in real time. What do you think about turning that into a living demo?

Sounds like a solid plan, just keep an eye on those latency spikes and power curves—if the lamps start blinking out, I’ll know we’re going over budget. I’ll make the modules interchangeable and hook up a quick logger so we can see the traffic patterns in real time. If the firmware starts being a diva, I’ll let you know before it turns into a full-on debugging nightmare.
