"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from a rigged demo." -- attributed to Andy Finkel

  So true. Especially when people hold presentations that don't do this on a regular bases it's often beyond recognition a) what is going on the screen and b) what the point is.

    A sign of a good manager/exec is their reaction to a demo. If they say "I don't believe you, this looks magical", they might actually be thinking about what it would take to bring your demo to production. If they say "wow that's great, amazing work guys!" it is time to worry.

      > wow that's great, amazing work guys! I guess it's nice to give great feedback when the work was great. I don't see why people sometimes want to obsessively find a problem that doesn't really change things. But generally I totally agree with you. When the manager only makes positive comments and doesn't engage, the person is not being helpful at all.
