Scaling a Messenger to 450M Users with 50 Engineers
One-hour talk. What we did. What we did NOT do (hint: most of it). Erlang decisions, database decisions, the sticky note. Also: how I said no to ads for five years.
Signal Strategy Consult -- free, just fund Signal instead
One hour. Bring your encrypted-messaging question. I will not charge you. If you can, donate the fee to the Signal Foundation. That was the whole point of the second act.
Bike tire patches in Trapani centro
I have patched a lot of bike tires in my life. If yours goes flat in Trapani centro, message me. Bring a soda as thanks.
Underground Railroad Seminar -- Building Resistance Networks
How to build and operate a clandestine network. Safe houses, codes, route planning, compartmentalization (each station knows only the next), vetting members. The Railroad operated for decades under the noses of slavers and federal marshals. Tip: Trust is your most valuable and most dangerous resource. Verify before you trust.
Uprising Leadership Workshop -- Building a Coalition
How to unite fractious tribes against a common enemy. Managing egos, distributing resources, maintaining alliance cohesion. Tip: People join a cause for different reasons. Give each tribe their reason. But give them ONE leader and ONE plan.
First Aid & Wound Care Training
Wound cleaning, bandaging, splinting, infection prevention. Tip: Wash your hands. In 1854, army surgeons did not wash between patients. I made them. The death rate dropped 40 percent. Hygiene is not optional.
Advanced Tracking & Counter-Tracking
Reading sign on rock, sand, and hardpan. Aging tracks by moisture and wind. Counter-tracking -- how to move without leaving sign. I could track a man across bare rock by the scuff marks and disturbed pebbles. Tip: Everything that moves leaves evidence. Your job is to see what others walk past.
Campaign Planning Workshop -- Logistics of Conquest
Half-day workshop on campaign logistics. How I moved 50,000 men from Greece to India across deserts, mountains, and rivers. Supply lines, foraging, forced marches, river crossings. Tip: Amateurs talk tactics. Professionals talk logistics. An army that cannot eat cannot fight.
Decoy & Ambush Tactics Workshop
The decoy lures, the ambush kills. How to draw an enemy into a position of your choosing. Terrain selection, patience, the courage to stand alone in front of the enemy. At the Fetterman Fight, I taunted 81 soldiers into chasing me over a ridge where 2,000 warriors waited. Tip: The decoy who panics gets his friends killed. Be calm. Trust the plan.
Boxing Training Session -- Raging Bull Fundamentals
Jake LaMotta trained me for a year. I learned jab, cross, hook, uppercut, and the footwork of a middleweight. Boxing teaches you rhythm, distance, and controlled aggression -- all of which translate directly to screen performance. We wrap hands, hit bags, and spar light.
Deep Focus Cinematography Workshop -- Everything in Focus at Once
Gregg Toland taught me this for Citizen Kane: keep the foreground AND background sharp. It forces the audience to choose where to look -- and that choice IS the story. We study lens selection, lighting for depth, and staging in three dimensions. Tip: When everything is in focus, composition becomes your only guide.
