Build with Chainlink · workshop notes

This one felt less like a talk and more like a working session. Laptops open from minute ten, docs tabs everywhere, and a room full of people trying to understand the difference between "it runs" and "it holds up."

The useful part wasn't the headline concepts. It was the implementation edge-cases: stale values, fallback paths, and how quickly confidence disappears when your assumptions about data freshness are wrong.

Best line of the evening: *"Don't demo the happy path, test the bad hour."*

We'll publish the starter templates and a short checklist in the next dispatch.
