A talk I've given during Twitch's Dev Day in Tel Aviv in 2019. I've been working on some Twitch extensions and apps for fun. In this talk I'm sharing what went right and what went wrong. During the talk, I did a quick demo of actually writing a demo, live, that shows your speedtest.net internet speed.
