Best for
Engineering All Teams Leadership

Four or five people sign up each session. Each gets exactly 5 minutes to demo something they use daily — a favorite Chrome extension, a Notion template, a keyboard shortcut, a Python one-liner, how they triage email. Hard cap on time. Questions at the end.

Why engineering teams steal it: you’ll learn more about how your team actually works in six 30-minute Lightning Demos than in a full engineering offsite. The quiet senior engineer always has something.

Materials: a shared signup doc with 4-5 slots per session, running every 2 weeks. A volunteer moderator who keeps the timer.
